Wing Mirror Clicking on My 07' MK6

[Ringo333]

I went up to a breakers yard today and paid £25 for a new passenger wing mirror, got home to fit it which was all fine but when I lock the car it now clicks about 6 times.

I've had a look around and seen that it is a common problem, so I was wondering if there is any way to fix it or could I take apart my old mirror and swap the motor in the new one as my old mirror didn't click at all.

Thanks for any help :)

mine was the same when I had a mk6.5.  It was passenger side. I just disconnected the plug so it did not fold in anymore. obviously this meant it did not adjust or heat any more. I tried to find a wiring diagram so I could just snip the powerfold wire but could not find a diagram (this was a few years ago). I did have a haynes manual but it did not show the wiring for powerfold function.

When I wired it I wondered why it didn't fold in and I found it was disconnected, once it was connected that was when it started clicking, probably why it was disconnected in the first place  But there must be a way to strip down the wing mirror and use the motor and parts from my old mirror as that didn't click
