so i recently bought an edition 30 damage repaired apparently had the drivers door replaced now the folding mirrors wont fold and the drivers side puddle light wont light up even tho i have swapped the bulbs and the bulb is fine as it works on the passenger side!!!!!!
i was wondering will it be a wiring loom problem like the door they replaced has a different loom???
any knowledge would be helpful thanks

It could be that it needs re-coded for the functions to work (If they didn't use the original door control module).
If it was a 2nd hand door and they left the module that it came with it in, then there is a possibility that the module doesn't support the functions.
Do you have access to VAG-Com or similar diagnostic scanner?
My 1st port of call would be a module snapshot to see what features are enabled and the hardware revision. Then I would look at the wiring.
Good luck :happy2:
Where are you based?

Could be a door lock problem not recognising the doors open.... Does it show that it's open on the dash?
-
Oh on second thoughts.... Would only effect the light and not the mirror... Most likely the wrong module or incorrectly coded

i'm based in east london/essex
going to try and locate someone with the diagnostics machine as i need abit of help
just found out that the guy gave me a spare key that operates the driver door but not the ignition proper pulled a fast one :surprised:
whats a module snapshot? :stupid: sorry i'm a dunce

Guessing he didn't wanna code the spare key either.
