Prius V :: Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror Has Stopped Working
I've recently noticed that my v's auto dimming rear view mirror has stopped working, or at least appears that way. I'm not sure if it's because of the tint because I have used my iPhones led to testing it by shining the light from inside of the vehicle but it still fails to dim.
View 8 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Driver Side Mirror Heater Stopped Working In Cold Weather
Well, as the cold weather has approached, a minor issue has surfaced.
It appears my driver-side mirror heater is not working. Both mirrors still move as they should, and the rear defroster and passenger side mirror both heat as the should with the defrost button, but the driver side does not, as it is cold to the touch and naturally did not melt the frost yesterday.
I looked at the fuses hoping it would be something as simple as that, but it does not appear there are separate fuses for each mirror; the naming is a bit cryptic, but it looks like there may be one for both mirrors, which logically would not explain the situation.
Seems to me the heater itself is defective, and I am not exactly looking forward to opening up the mirror and/or spending money to fix this...
The Prius is a 2006, and I am up to 256K KM (~160K miles) to date.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2008 LS460 - Folding Side Mirror For Driver Door Stopped Working
My self-closing door feature on my driver door has stopped working recently. The other three doors self-closing door feature works flawlessly.
Is there an easy solution, such as a fuse? Or, does something else, more extensive, need to be done, i.e., should I seek out a professional mechanic?
As an aside, around the same time (if not the same time), my folding side mirror for my driver door stopped working. Any possibility they are related?
Phaeton :: Heater Stopped Working - How To Get It Out
So my aux heater stopped working. It may just be a failed glowplug as per the error code but as there is significant corrosion around the controller I thought it best to get hold of a second hand unit, which leads to a couple of questions.
1. Can the glow plug be changed with the heater in situ?
2. What needs to be removed to get the heater out? Is it a big job?
Even my mech says it's easily the most complex car he's worked on, and he's had Ferraris/Porsches etc in before!
Phaeton :: Key Fobs Just Stopped Working On 2003 VW
I've got a UK 2003 Phaeton (78Kmiles). Picked it up 6 months ago and have put 8K miles on it with no issues at all until...
The key fobs just stopped working. Car was supplied with two fobs and both stopped working. Replaced the batteries to no avail. Press any of the buttons = light on the key works but the car ignores it totally. (even right next to it)
I can use the key for entry / lock /,alarming, but it's really not cricket for such a fine automocar.

View 1 RepliesPhaeton :: 2008 - Dashboard Stopped Working?
We have a 2008 LWB Phaeton. It had some bodywork done on the back wheel arch last week ( neighbour ran into it!) and a tyre reconditioned. As we drove away from the garage we noticed that the whole of the dashboard was not working nothing at all, no speedo, rev, fuel etc etc.
Took it to vw who ran a quick test and thought it may be an earth somewhere as the voltage was reading 10 and not of 12, but couldn't find out where as they would need to look at diagrams on a Phaeton as they don't see many, and they were not able to do for another two weeks.
Our car is currently sitting in an independent garage, who normally look after it, with their mechanics scratching their heads as to whats wrong with it. As they said its like the ignition is not speaking to the the dash etc.
Phaeton :: Power Boot / Trunk Stopped Working
I opened the boot via the door panel button. Loaded suitcases in and pressed button down on the boot lid.
The two hooks ( plastic and metal one ) directly came out and the boot lid did not move at all.
Tried a reset the whole procedure found on this excellent forum. but no result. I also tried to put my key in the boot lock and it doesnt want to lock or unlock.
Phaeton :: AC Stopped Working - Fault Code 00716
My AC stopped working a few weeks back. The garage looked at it and noticed it had no refrigerant, the fault code stated this also. It was traced to the condenser which was replaced and the system regassed. The AC will still not work. The current fault code is 00716 Air Recirculation Flap Positioning Motor (v113) 005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting/Adaptation. That is the only fault code showing and cannot be reset.
There is no cold air at all. Could this fault be preventing the AC from working? What is odd is that the compressor seems to be running when you switch on AC as it shows up in the diagnostics as running with about 2nm of torque.

View 10 RepliesPhaeton :: Rear View Mirror Drop Down
I'm not sure if this is a problem others have experienced here but for the last few months my rear view mirror angle would drop down and every morning when i got in the car i would need to readjust. I then thought that like every other moving part of the P that needs adapting that maybe the same applies to the mirror so i moved it to it's highest then lowest points, moved the seat all the way back, got out, locked the car, unlocked it, the seat and mirror had returned to the position stored in the memory and for the last month the mirror has not moved so I'm thinking that this has solved the problem.

Not sure what the proper name for the part is, but it is the clear plastic signal cover that has broken in half. the light still illuminates properly, but the cover is broken. What is the part that I need to order so that I can replace?
View 6 RepliesPhaeton :: Passenger Side View Mirror Memory Adjustment
How to set the passenger side view mirror memory adjustment? I am unclear on a couple of things:
1) With the transmission in any position other than reverse, adjust the passenger side mirror as you like it.
2) Put the car in reverse, and adjust the same mirror to show you what you want to look at when you have the transmission in reverse.
3) Now press the appropriate seat memory buttons, to store that configuration as your 'driver preference', and the car will remember both settings.
Does #3 mean that you turn off the car leaving it in reverse? Leave it running - in reverse? And then you press "Set" and then the seat number button - and then "Set" again?
