We present the results from VLBI observations at three frequencies of the gravitational lens system B0218+357. From the source double structure, seen in both the A and B images at 15 GHz, we have derived a relative magnification matrix, and we show that the lens mass distribution must be non-spherical. We investigate how far the matrix parameters derived from 15 GHz observations can be used to relate the A and B images at 1.7 and 5 GHz, where the image sizes are much larger.
