Heated mirrors

[Krishen]

Well i only found out last week that my cupra has heated side mirrors
but only the driver side is working. The passenger mirror isn't cracked/ smashed and ive checked that the connection from the door to the body of the car is connected properly.

ANy ideas?

Cheers

I always thought mine were heated, but aren't sure - when it's cold & I stick the heated rear screen on, mirrors seem to clear too (but it's always at the same place on my journey to work so I figured it was just the wind clearing them!?). Are they definitely heated???

Well i wasn't sure either. But when i switch on the rear heated screen switch on, my driver side mirror clears. And i did a 'scientific test' to check if they are heated. BAsically i touched the mirror after a journey (with the rear screen switch on) and the mirror was hot. So there you go, scientific proof that they are heated lol.
Now just need to sort the passenger side one.

The passenger side should be heated, but I believe that if they are left on too long the heater element can burn out.

Both mine work, which is amasing, i had a Polo and they stopped working after 30k. Not very reliable

So can i juts buy a new mirror ro is it abit more complex than that?
Its one of those things that even though is not a neccessity it will bug me for ages lol.

In my experience any Ibiza/Cordoba with electric mirrors had had them heated
