Hi guys - first post. Use the search to no avail so thought it was best to ask in here
I bought a 2012 Audi A3 1.6 Technik in early April. It's been great so far, even for a base model (had use of an 09 1.8T A3 previously). However, a few weeks ago I started having a really odd issue with both wing mirror indicators;
cheers
I bought a 2012 Audi A3 1.6 Technik in early April. It's been great so far, even for a base model (had use of an 09 1.8T A3 previously). However, a few weeks ago I started having a really odd issue with both wing mirror indicators;
- Either one of them will stop working completely, or at best flicker on slightly (never both dying at the same time!)
- This alternates between mirrors every few days, but the right one seems more afflicted
- Rear and front indicators have no problems at all
- When a single mirror indicator works, the speed and brightness of the indicator is completely normal
- No other electrical problems with the car at all (to my knowledge)
- No warning lights
- The fact that this has happened to both mirrors at the same time, and the fact that they do work completely normally every now and again, makes me thing that wiring to the mirrors and the bulbs themselves are fine
- The front and rear indicators are fine and work perfectly when indicating and using hazards - making me think there is no problem with the relay
- Lack of other electrical faults makes me think the battery is absolutely fine
- The intermittent flickering of the mirror indicators when on makes me think it could be a grounding issue...
cheers
