While this didn’t work for me, it DID convince me the problem WAS my electric motor ($300) versus replacing the whole hydraulic/electric assembly ($3800)!!! I can’t thank you enough for posting your video!! It helped me just replace the motor all by myself for just the cost of the new motor saving me $3500!!

I followed these exact instructions and my roof works again!!! Thank you so much you have saved me a lot of money!!!

Just followed these instructions and it fixed the problem. Make sure you clean the motor really well with fine emery cloth. Took me two attempts but just saved a fortune. Thanks Hakan

You, sir, are doing the motoring public a great service. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Brilliant! Worked for me too! Just be careful when you remove the motor though as the oil will leak if you don't position upright and the bush can fall out easily!

Great Video, very helpful! We changed out the motor and serviced the 6 ounce reservoir with a blue hydraulic fluid. Installed the motor securely and ran the system to remove the air out of System and it was Okay after that! Great Video

sweet hakan thanks for putting this video up as saved me lots of money and done the job.. it works fine now...happy days

Worked great on my 2009 A4. Thank You very much!

Great video!! I was able to do this fix in an hour. I did exactly as indicated and it works great. I always thought it was the switch not making good contact. Thank you. now I have to re-glue rear window.

My roof was doing the same thing. I cleaned the motor brushes just like the video and that fixed it. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you, Great video. Did mine today and replaced the fluid £13.00 from Audi, can I add that you definitely need to make sure you mark on the body of the pump and the motor case, I put my motor back on 180 degrees and it did not work, also if you have an older A4 (B6) like mine you do not need to take the torx screws out, just the 2 x 8mm long bolts at the end of the motor case.

Thank you for the video. I've not tried yet but shouldn't be to hard now you have showed us where to look at least

Thank you very much for the very useful information. Regards from Spain

Bedankt Hakan voor u info en duidelijkheid

Hello Hakan, thank you so much from France for all your explications. You are famous for few frenchies! Is it possible to have subtitles please? Thank you very much for everything! :D

Hola. Probaré con el tutorial que hay en la descripción del vídeo. Hace 2-3 años dejó de funcionar (solo abre la capota 20 cm y ya no funciona). Quizás pruebe a desmontar y verificar. Gracias Le informaré del resultado Un saludo

Great vid! Thank you 😊

You're awesome, you saved me $965...I need to at least buy you a beer 🍺

Fantastic.. Many thanks Hakan

Thank you for these instructions

Cleaning/sanding just worked for me, thanks so much! For those that have also cleaned the motor, about how long did this fix last?

When it was like this and you were trying to close it. Was it closing all in once or it was closing step by step? After pressing and releasing button 6-7 times, it is closed all the way mine. Not sure if I should replace the motor since i have replaced 3 different ones from junkyard.

Hi Hakan I've got the same problem on my a4 2007 I've done every thing but still not working ! Can you helping me out please thanks Ahmed

Good job..

Have exactly these symptoms. Hopefully it will be the same solution. Thanks. (Not complaining as it got me $1000 off the car). Just as an additional point, you can help prevent these issues a bit by operating the top every so often even if you're not planning to use it.

Hi there, I have an Audi TT Roadster 2001 and same thing has happend to mine yesterday. I think it's becuase of condensation maybe and I was wondering if the motor is situated in the same place ? Thanks bro

I have an a4 2004 cabrio and one day I was trying to take the top off and it got stuck half way, I took it to the Audi dealership and they tell me that the front locks for the top is broke and it’s an internal problem and that I would have I replace the whole top for like 4,000 but in reality that was never my problem cause it would lock well. Do you think this could be the motor since it got stuck half way while opening it? They to me something completely different then the problem I saw

brill such an easy fix and cost nowt

I have the same symptoms on my A3 Cabriolet. Do you think it’s the same thing or could it be that only the oil is below min?

are you in NJ

I have to keep manually resetting mine :\ works for a while and stops again same roof position, again today same issue :\ where abouts are you based? any chance you can sort mine? ha! :)

HI, Thanks for a informative video, I did the same and now can hear my Motor sound, but still the roof stuck at 3 inch above, Can you please advise what could be the problem? do I have to do it again? or is there anything else which i have to do ? Your cooperation in this regards will highly be appreciated

Great video, unfortunately the root cause is due to cracked brushes and the issue will come back unless they are replaced. Regards VagPro

Having this issue now in my audi. I saw another youtuber doing this every winter. I wonder if this happens every winter?

My roof has started slowing down and sometimes not enough power now to open on its own what could it be

Fucking best video so far on KZfaq lol

i sanded it but it still didnt work i dont hear the motor at all when i press the button, what is that conection part called? 5:44 i might need that

Good to know. But a little complex for a no mechanic. Took it to to Gotts Service Centre, Norwich, UK where they did an excellent job, at a reasonable price too.

hi does any one know the fuse location for the roof cheers
