    Hitch install on a 2007 A4 Cabrio

    That is interesting that the car can be re-programed to do all of that. I don't have the parking sensors on my car. I did hear that they need to be disabled when towing a trailer of any sort. I have parking sensors on my pickup truck and need to switch it off on the dashboard or it will keep...

    Hitch install on a 2007 A4 Cabrio

    It appears that you have the European version Audi. Was your right frame rail open, unlike mine? I couldn't use the European wiring harness. Over here we have a 4 plug trailer harness for our trailer lights with trailers that do not have electric brakes or separate turn signals with separate...

    If I can save anyone a lot of time and hardship to do this conversion then it is well worth it to me.

    Hitch install on a 2007 A4 Cabrio

    Last April I bought my 2007 Audi A4 Quattro Cabrio because I wanted to downsize from having a BMW 330xi and a BMW 325i convertible. This car gave me the best of two worlds. The one thing I had missed greatly with the Audi was not having a trailer hitch on it for towing my motorcycle on...

    Audi A4 Cabriolet Soft Top/ Roof / Hood Motor Repair Guide

    Now I understand. So originally when I cleaned the armature I must have put it back on 180 degrees off. This time it went back on the right way. I'll remember that in the future.

    Audi A4 Cabriolet Soft Top/ Roof / Hood Motor Repair Guide

    Ok, I did take the bell off the hydraulic base and re-installed it. I put the back end of the motor back on and it works now. Maybe I did rotate it 180 degrees, I'm not sue as I did not mark that part. I thought you meant the larger bell of the hydraulic unit. Inside the outer motor cover are...

    Audi A4 Cabriolet Soft Top/ Roof / Hood Motor Repair Guide

    I pulled the motor unit out again and matched it up with your pictures. It is the same with the wire leads coming out of the motor at the bottom. Now I'm stumped. I was hoping that was the problem.
