Morning All,
Am likely to be having a go at following these instructions at the weekend. My symptom is the following.....
Operate roof switch....roof pops off the front of the car and hangs 5 cms or so from the front.
Nothing else happens.....The box does not pop up, no motor noises etc. On operating the close switch the roof closes. Manually, the roof works okay.
I've got a local chap to run a diagnostic. He got the 'implausible' fault code, which he cleared. After that, no faults, but roof still inoperable. Still, he didn't charge anything.
So....is it sounding like the motor? If so, I'm going to have a go at getting it out, and probs send it to the chap in Harrogate.
After my last experience at a south coast Audi main dealer, I will not ever be returning to an audi dealer....
Any advice as to whether my symptom is a match for the problem discussed on this thread, gratefully received.
Hello Derek,
Sounds like you have the same problem for which I have written the guide on i.e. brushes not making contact with the commutator. Personally I do not feel that there is a need to remove the motor (loose fluid) and send it away. After cleaning AND prying open the brush carriers my roof (and many other peoples roofs) have worked flawlessly.
Regards
