Audi A4 Cabriolet convertible 2008 58 reg 2.0L TDI S Line roof soft top issues - roof won't fold down and only moves a couples of inches then stops or is stuck. I looked at the hydraulic level on the pump reservoir - it was fine, I then thought I would check the brushes for wear, so I re-opened up the hydraulic motor pump assembly for the soft top & tested the brushes on the commutator to make sure there was plenty of wear left & I found one of them sticking in it's brass housing! so here's what I did...I got very small flat screw driver to slightly prize open the top gap on brass housing on the brush unit, the small brush immediately sprang out to touch the commutator unit, I tested it (its spring loaded) several times before putting the motor etc. back into place the roof now works fine.
Audi Newcastle wanted £600 to investigate & repair or replace the unit...
