Not only are you super knowledgeable and skilled, you also have a mastery of the english language using words like "tangs" that make it way easy to understand. Very helpful to have tips like this from a pro!

Guys, please make sure you use a silicone sealant. We took my wife's car to get sorted before I saw this video and they used GLUE don't use glue it will fail and will become brittle. Silicone and loads of it but neat. I promise follow this video to the letter it's saved me a lot of money. Just to get the water out the carpet now

You didnt mention the other end of the tube and didnt check it. That goes through the firewall (bulkhead) via a rubber grommet adaptor. These often come out causing the water to run down into the footwells. These need to be checked and fixed as well. Otherwise you may well still have a leak as these leak like the end of a tap dripping or dribbling.

Just put a tube fitted just right size down the drain hole, without taking anything off car. make sure it goes down tube 6" at least. This way your past the spot where it leaks. then add silicone on the pillar hole very acuratly.

I didn't wanted to open the whole plastic moulding and bought plumber grade spray silicon. Through the front opening sprayed fair amount and smeared further through a guided wire just to make sure not blocking the internal lumen..10 min drying and tried water test all good.

Those drain line problems apply to Audi also. I can recommend to wrap a few layers of self-fusing silicone tape to fix this. Unfortunately my EOS is now ecomomically dead. FSI engine -> timing chain tensioner, low power (injectors maybe?) and other stuff. VW makes a great car but keeps failing with modern engines. I really loved my EOS :-( sad! With old car engines 170.000km were no problem...

Just watched your video on A pillar drains, well done. I recently had the driver's door replaced due to a deer running into our car. Since the new door has been installed water has been accumulating along the sill. Also notice after heavier rain, water drains from the door drain when I open the door. My bigger concern is the water accumulating inside the door. Any suggestions?

Grazie mille è stato utile. Ho un problema col tettuccio superiore. Potresti aiutarmi per piacere? Sono disperato. Il tettuccio piccolo sforza la chiusura e il motorino ha mangiato l' ingranaggio in nylon. Muovendolo in 2 persone il tettuccio sforza ed è duro sullo scorrimento. Ho ordinato ingranaggio di sostituzione però ho paura che fa ancora lo stesso problema dato che il tettuccio è duro.

@@CabrioletTech Thank you very much. I've checked this one already, but though that the shown drains are already clean and flushing them with water is only to check them up whether they are cleaned or not. I have leaking water from the back that goes down to the feet area on the back, so I will try the flushing, and hopefully will work. Thank you very much again! :)

@VagPro Cabriolet Specialist simply flushing the water inside the drains doesn't work - the water still doesn't go down to the outflow. What would you recommend in order to clean them up? Your advice will be highly appreciated.

This would be great except I cannot get the sun visor holder caps off (beginning at 1:00). I tried a small Craftsman pick, then a small screwdriver, but all I did was scratch the holder. Cap didn't even budge. I doubt the year matters, but mine is a 2011 EOS. What tool specifically are you using to pull those covers off? Thanks.

If that coupling comes apart would waterproof super glue be something that could work (if I don't have silicone)? This way I make sure the two surfaces are attached.

No as superglue goes brittle, need something flexible

My son has one of these and the roof has stopped working and checking with vcds it's showing a fault on G558 which we belive is in the location of where you have just been on this video . The vcds measuring blocks is showing a V rather than the 0 or 1 I'm wondering if you have an idea as to where the sensor plugs in so we can replace it .
@CabrioletTech5 ай бұрын
Hi Sensor is in roof frame, you'll need to open roof with diagnostic equipment and if you would like to access the plug it's behind the roof bar You'll see this on our video where we change the roof lock
