They come as standard with the L & K. I'd check that they've given you the right car.

I didn't think folding was standard?!

Thats what I mean, we've got the electric memory seats and mirrors, but they dont fold.

Is there something you have to do to get them to fold is what I'm asking.

There should be a posistion to switch it to for folding (there was on the old ones, but not seen and Octy2 with folding mirrors yet. Checked the manual?

roo · 11-07-2005, 18:53

can't see it in the manual and there is not a position on the mirror adjust which is where I think it would have been.

Lummox · 11-07-2005, 18:59

It doesnt list folding mirrors on the uk site, you sure it has them?

(not seen an l+k yet)

roo · 11-07-2005, 19:10

I know but it's on the order form.

I Had a new Ambience 105 estate in March With electric mirors with indicators on them and they fold in with no problem

Electrically? If so how?

bengie · 11-07-2005, 19:48

did octavia I's have electric folding mirrors as an option then?

Expatman · 12-07-2005, 02:18

I've got an L&K on order; I checked with Skoda UK and while the mirrors will fold by hand there is not a powered folding option.

L&K TDI · 12-07-2005, 14:15

This is a little confusing.

If you look at the specs on the Website for the L&K it say the mirrors are Electrically adjustable and heated.

If you then use the Competitor Comparisons feature (I chose 2.0TDI L&K DSG), select the brochure option and it shows Electrically Folding mirrors with memory system as Standard.

If this isn't standard what’s the point of buying and L&K (leather seats)?

I have an 02 L&K which was great value as it had just about everything, but the new model does not, which is quite disappointing as I was thinking about getting one later in the year.

Exactly my point, my 03 Octavia L&K Estate was great value, sunroof, leather, Xenons etc all std - but the new L&K is bl**dy expensive when you add these options!! Especially, when the discounts are not that big.
Having said that, with the 2.0TDi & DSG is it is nice car, but it's not the bargain that it used to be.
Checked out pricing on Peugeot 407SW Zenith with 2.0HDi 136 & tiptronic - has good spec and very competitive price, especially when you look at the deals you can get, but CO2 is higher, so bigger tax bill - decisions, decisions!

Do they work like the Superb ones? The switch does the full 360. Turn past the left or right adjustment position and they fold in?
