Hi all i have a 68 plate octavia vrs and i am looking to upgrade my mirrows to folding mirrors. any idea what parts i need. i assume i would need them programmed. any idea where i source the correct parts. or do you have any links. your help would much appreciated. thanks Warren.

Pre Facelift or Facelift?

PFL. Exact same as mine, visually, except for the black spolier - always weird seeing 'your' car with a different plate.

You'll need replacement door control modules as not all of them support power folding mirrors. The wiring you’ll need will come with the replacement mirrors, and plugs into the door control modules. if you need any help with coding, @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits can help, as can Andy from Yorkshire VWAG Retrofits and Solutions.

Is this the same as with a preface lift too?

Sorry - yours is a FL. I've no idea why I put PFL. PFL models were 2013 to 2017 and FL models were from 2017 to 2020. There are some overlaps (2017 had both 3 and 3.5, and 2020 had 3.5 and 4).

The easiest way to tell is the split headlights - although you've got a 245 which were only the 3.5 and 4. Speaking of 245, don't forget the DSG and VAQ (differential) servicing! DSG interval is officially 80k, but most do it at 40k depending on age/use. The differential is officially 30k, but the Mk4 onwards are 20k, so many choose to do it at 20k, or even every year.
