- 2002 S210 Avantgarde 320CDi in silver. Black leather interior
I'm taking a punt that this is the most appropriate location for this query.
When washing my 210 (S210) a few weeks back, I accidentally folded the exterior N/S mirror and then folded it back, not giving it a moments thought. Now, when I try to fold it from the interior switch, it stutters and farts a bit and won't fold completely. I've tried to have a fiddle and can find no reset function in the handbook. What am I doing wrong or have I managed to rip the teeth off the little internal motor where it connects to the quadrant gear piece? I haven't managed to get a helper yet to hear if the motor is spinning during a button press, which might confirm this. The button press is hold to fully open or to fully close and is not one touch like some of the later models.
