Hi,
I'm encountering a few problems with my Audi. But the two major ones are:
1) The remote boot unlock doesn't work by using the key fob. I can only open the boot with the actual key.
To try and fix the problem, I've replaced the fuse but no luck. Having read various forums, it was suggested that there could be a problem with the Solenoid in the boot lid. I've removed the cover and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the wiring so I think it could be the solenoid. Videos and things I have watched seem to suggest it should be simple and cheap to replace and fit yourself. However, the videos I've watched don't look the same as my boot. Please see the images.
The Solenoid seems to be covered by another cover, it would appear to mould into the plastic. Anyone had any experience replacing one of these? Any guidance as to how it can be done.
2) The roof will not go down. When I press the switch a message comes up saying "Soft top cannot be used". Again, I've replaced the fuse but no luck. I've used the manual key to fold the roof down and then I've brought it back up. And it still won't operate electronically.
When I try to use the switch there is no noise at all, so I don't think the motor is even trying to move. Anyone got any suggestions as to what the problem could be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, all suggestions are very much appreciated.
