May sound dumb but how is the roof operated with the switch? Is it one press or do you have to press and hold it till it's finished moving?

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

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

Yo también tengo el mismo problema q puedo aser

That may save me a new motor lol

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

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

@Hakan Sahin please help me with Audi 80 Cabrio roof its not opening how do you fix it

Thank you for these instructions

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.

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?

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

Selam Abi Bende Ayni araba var üstü aciliyor Ama yariya kadar Ondan sonra elimde yittimi az bisey devam kendi aciliyor ne olabilir

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.

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

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

Hello there! I got video on my channel if you need any more help! Its On how to fix most roof issues on Audi A4, showing 3 main issues with it and fixes, also how to open and close manually and how to fully reset position of it, that helps in most of the cases! have a look it helped loads of people already and might help you as well! All I ask in return is a Subscribe and a like ;) Good luck stay Safe!

PLEASE HELP - Audi A4 CAB 2007 56 Reg, Roof not working at all, followed your video but having NO LUCK.

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.

Fantastic.. Many thanks Hakan

brill such an easy fix and cost nowt

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

I JHAVE AN 04 AUDI NO SOUND ON THE MOTOR I will assume the motor is the problem

are you in NJ

Bedankt Hakan voor u info en duidelijkheid

Good job..

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

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

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 vid! Thank you 😊

Well i need to c if i can hear my motor

Fucking best video so far on KZfaq lol

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

I have just done this and unfortunately my roof still only opens about an inch and then stops ....any other info would be much appreciated Thanks

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!!

mines doing the same but says roofs open aswell

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

In Dutch, step by step instructions for fixing the problem. www.audiforum.nl/forum/model-specifiek-forum/audi-a4/b7-2004-2008-/80573-cabriokap-gaat-niet-meer-dicht-hydraulische-pomp-moet-vervangen-worden-2-print.html

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

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! :)
