Thank you very much man. I'd also like to mention that the A4 has a hidden tool in the area beside the steering wheel, that allows you to manually wind your roof closed in case of electrical failure. You have to open the compartment in the back seat, pull out some ski cover thing that I don't know it's use. Wind the roof to a point, lower it, then go in the front seat and take out a rectangle of plastic in the roof near the rear view mirror and wind it closed with the tool. Just saved my bacon tonight 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. Side trim removal at the beginning, you mention that "up here there's another little plug you've got to remove". Your hand goes in and I hear a click, but then the video jumps ..is it a DC connection or just a clip holding the trim please?

It is actually rare for the motor to go bad. Take it to an audi dealership and the bill will be approximately $2,700. They will want to replace the entire assy and the sensor. Most of the time it is low hydraulic fluid. $12 for Audi fluid. Audi will not tell you it is low fluid.

I was able to clean the commutator and reinstall. Works great lasts along time, I hope. Hold assembly vertical in trunk motor up, rags undernieth. Remove power to motor and unbolt torx screws. You will get some oil spill when separated. Remove motor, keeping pump assembly vertical. Remove power connector from pump bracket. In a clean place unbolt two long cap bolts the pull Bell housing off rotor. The commentator is where the brushes ride. Sand 400 grit until shiny copper then spray contact cleaner and make sure brushes move smoothly. Then reassemble and reinstall.

The fix lasted a year and oil seeping from pump seal contaminated the commutator again. I am sending pump & motor out for rebuild. The motor is just a symptom of a worn pump seal.

Hi, first of all thank you for your very useful video to understand the problem of the hood. Unfortunately, replacing the engine did not solve the problem. I bought the engine and it arrived very quickly. Purchase and delivery, all perfect. I mounted the new piece but the hood opens a few centimeters but the rear hood does not open to accommodate it and she does not bend down to get inside. Looking at the hood pistons, I realized that there is one that is leaking liquid, I think it is oil. Is it possible that the problem is that and that the hood is blocked by a sensor that stops the movement?

Thats a great video, will have a go this afternoon. Plan for now is to start by putting a voltmeter across the motor cables to ensure the car is trying to run the motor... If voltage is there then I will know the motor is definitely bad and I will then buy the replacement. Don’t forget to ensure those grounds are re connected and your boot storage lever is in the right position.

I am not by any means an expert in this area, I created this video as a bit of a side project/hobby as I found it difficult to find this information online. It's not unreasonable to miss comment notifications from time to time so I would hope the video in isolation remains being helpful and not warrant being deleted due to not responding to a question. My two cents worth since you shared yours.

Are you insane? You are trying to impress the KZfaqRS out there with your "Show-off tear-down"....which is total BS & unnecessary. Just add hydraulic fluid folks....and don't even try to disassemble your trunk. You will be sorry, as you end up ruining your top.
@Melbournerider

1. No, not insane 2. Not impressing anyone, simply sharing information to others that I personally found useful 3. Tried the fluid and it didn’t fix the problem, noticed the brushes in motor weren’t working so tried this as the next best option 4. Four years later and the roof is still going strong... best thing I ever did so I am not sorry :)
