Hi all,
This is my first post after buying my 2003 Audi A4 convertible. I have a 2.4 petrol version.
The car is awesome although the electric roof has recently stopped working. Unlike all of the other posts I have researched, the roof does not start to move at all. In fact the roof does not unlock the latches.
I have tried manually opening and closing the roof on numerous occasions in order to reset it, but it has had no effect.
I have also tried cleaning the motor as shown on one of the posts. It was dirty but again had no effect. Whilst there I studied the hydraulic fluid level and that is where it should be. I have cleaned all of the latches and sensors (that i can see), but still no joy.
When i switch the engine on the roof operation light on the dash flashes for approximately 5 seconds. When i press the switch for the roof i can hear some kind of electric activation at the rear on the drivers side, i get the roof operation light on the dash, but nothing happens. The windows dont even open slightly as required when the switch is activated. My windows and everything else on the car works as normal.
From looking at the posts i assume i will have to purchase a VAGCOM. I would like to know which one would be the best or will any Audi one do to get the correct codes? Has anyone else had the same problem? Could it be a fuse or anything similar?
Thanks in advance for your time..
