Hello, I’m new here on MT as well as in the Phaeton Forum. I’ve collected a small Phaeton collection here in California over the last 8 years and currently have 4 Phaetons and a part donor in the household. Although I’m very active on the VWVortex.com Phaeton Forum, but the number of American Phaeton drivers goes back quickly, i.e. I have to look for problem solutions in the country of birth of the Phaeton 🙂 My current problem is the folding function of the right exterior mirror. The actuator runs, but the mirror housing hardly moves and makes funny noises, sounds like a problem with the gears. I have a working unit of my part spener, but this has a few small rust bubbles while the broken unit is paint technically perfect. So I’d rather repair the part than replace it. I’ve already disassembled the unit up to the bracket, but as it looks like, the actuator and the gears are not accessible. A large shell with a strong spring keeps the two half, but I couldn’t find it possible to separate the half without having done it.
