Recently got a new facelift MK3 Leon and one issue that's been the start is intermittent reverse issues:

1. Reverse Light does not illuminate
2. Dipping mirror does not dip

However the car reverses fine and the park pilot on the media system does recognise reverse and turn this on and shows the car/sensor display on the screen.

Now problem is sometimes the light/dip do work, so what would cause this given the part pilot always recognises reverse?

Dealer has car in today but no error codes etc. and of course its working for them now them have the car in.

Do you always have the mirror switch set to 'L'? It will only dip if it is set here.

Reversing light - I assume you are observing the light directly rather than looking for a glow as you are in the driver's seat? The reversing light (as on many modern cars) is near useless at actually lighting anything up and I could easily assume mine wasn't working for all the use it is!
