just an update. This chap on Ebay who fixes the motor is awesome. Motor was posted on a Wednesday and I got it back by Friday. Roof now works again. Job done £75

sounds like you have the exact same problem as I have. Thats the biggest quote I've heard so far. Someone will probably correct me, but I think the motor that drives the pump is around £200. Alternatively, if you (or friend) can get you motor out following the guide on the previous page, you can...

managed to borrow a multimetre. Anyone know where (what) I should be checking for power to the motor ?

well cleaned it again. This time noticed a little gap between one of the contacts as shown on the pic by the arrow. It felt like it was a little stuck and wasn't pushing up against the copper so, I helped it a little. Also notice a little play in the spindle ie, I can move it a couple of mil...

Hi all, I've got an Audi A4 CAB on a 56 plate. Note sure which diagnostics cable I need to purchase. Can anyone confirm ?

Fellas, before I try this is the actual roof fused in any way? Must admit I haven't tried that.

Does this cleaning of the motor apply to a 56 plate A4 ? I took my roof down a few months ago in very cold condtions, maybe only 2-3 degrees as I was shifting some gear. The roof never came back up and I had close it manually. Now when I try to open the roof it only dis engages a couple of...
