I recently had the folding mirrors stop working consistently, until they finally gave up the ghost. I hit up VW, they wanted $600 for the base (which includes the failing/failed motor). So I tried the usual Jaycar, Repco, AutoOne, with no luck. The winner was ebay. These motors are used in most euro cars (Audi/Merc/BMW), though I still had to pay $20 for a $6 part. Still, it's better than the VW option. Anyways, here are the part numbers and some pics.
The biggest pain in the arse is getting the compression on the spring, which a pair of pliers and some zip ties make easy work of and the smaller zip tie you can get away with the better, as it makes it easier to get them out. The mirror pops out easy enough, just be warned that in the process of removing it, the alignment track for the electric adjustment can dislodge from behind. It can only be fixed with the mirror and casing removed..
Hope this helps and save you a few bucks...
