It is the third time my wing mirrior smashed by a car in 9 months. I moved in and live in country lanes and narrow roads. They drive too fast and do not pay attention. I want to know if it can be overridden by VCDS to allow unrestricted closing of the mirror at any speed? The current limit is 20mph above to prevent the mirror wing from closing. This is frustrating as my old Honda Jazz mk1 can close at any speed!

Hi there, any joy on this? On my mk.3 the limit appears to be about 30mph (probably actually some figure in km/h) but I'd love to be able to change it. I started looking down the list in VCDS, German dictionary in hand(!), but not found anything yet. It's quite probably a safety feature and no override, but like you I live in an area with loads of narrow roads and corner-cutting eejits!
