RussT Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Not sure whether GLX as heated mirrors, I have a 97 ghia which as them. But I broke one of them and it was a lot cheaper to replace with a non heated glass. So it could be possible that this as happened to yours with the previous owner Quote
Masked Marauder Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 My bammer does not have them and I would love some. I wonder how much that upgrade would cost to retro-fit with used parts.... Quote
Guest MATT Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 how long should the heating elements in the mirrors last for? as mine don't seem very good, and as its going in for service soon, i could ask for them to be replaced if need be. MATT Quote
suzuki91 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 my 97 glx does not have heated mirrors.. Quote
bigdaddy Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 My 98 ghia has them,,,,and there greattttttttttt :D :D :D Quote
my_other_wife_has_a_galaxy Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 My 2000 ghia has them but only one of them works ( :D ) may get round to finding why soon - just got to sort out the booster heater first! Quote
Guest chrisH Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Mines got heated mirrors.I'm not sure which switch turns them on, i've had the car for 3 years now and still put the front and back screens on at the same time. :D Quote
burundi Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 My 96 VW GL has heated mirrors but only the drivers side works. One of these days I may get around to checking out why... Quote
galaxychap Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 yup i got them and they work via the heated rear screen Quote
gregers1 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 my gal glx never had them but my zafira does and you can see steam coming off of them :) Quote
bigdaddy Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I just found out that the drivers side as a halfords replacement stick-on over the damaged mirror,,,and it still works,,,, :) :) :) Quote
Guest Turbo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 I think the mirrors work with the front screen. Mine don`t work, but neither does the front screen. Does anyone know where the "maxi" type fuses are located on a 1999 Tdi ? They are very large fuses. I think I am looking for a 50 amp one but cannot locate these fuses anywhere. My dealer says that the vehicle has got some fitted, but, they don`t know where! I think that could be the problem with mine. Everything else seems ok. If anyone knows please help me........!! Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 F75 50A top left of the CJB also F27 25A or F29 5A Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 my gal glx never had them but my zafira does and you can see steam coming off of them :P no thats not the mirrors! it's because the zafira is big steaming pile of S##T :( Quote
gregers1 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 :( and that comes from someone who was ranting about that hideous thing you help buy for a realative CHRIST WITH FRIENDS LIKE U WHOED NEED ENEMYS or is it a enima coz your talking s@@t,its coming out the wrong end. kindest regards vr6 gregers :P Quote
Guest Turbo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 F75 50A top left of the CJB ......So where is this ?? Under the dash ? Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 CJB posh name for fuse panel on Mk2's :( under dash drivers side, 50A fuse should be a BIG RED FUSE Quote
Guest Turbo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 Yes but the thing is.........mine is a mk 1....... Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 OOOP'S! for some reason I though you had a Mk2 :( in that case it's still a large red fuse top row of the fuse board far left also the relay IIRC is in the fuse box in the engine bay Quote
Guest Turbo Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 But that`s the problem. I can`t find any in the engine bay and I`m sure there are none inside the car. :wub: Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Ok, some TDI'S dont have the fuse box in the engine bay :wub: my diags for the fuse board and the heated front screen set up show it as F27 50A top left of the fuse board above K148 (dip/main beam relay) get right down in the foot well and look up under the dash and you should see the fuse? Quote
Guest Turbo Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Just had a look in torch light. I have a couple of rows of normal fuses going left to right so to speak and a row of small fuses going like front to back. Can`t see any others. Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 In that case you have a GEM panel or CJB being a 98/99 yours is a cross over model :wub: certain parts were used on your model and carried over onto the MK2 IIRC GEM panels are in two levels? you need to unclip the top layer and gain access to the rear panel which houses the fuse for heated screen Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Also the GEM panel does away with some relays and replaces them with timers built into the panel, one of these timers controls the front and rear heated screen and that brings us back to F75 50A Quote
