Great video. Music was a little distracting as I thought my radio was on in the car. But it’s all god. I loved the music. Wondering who the musician is.
My top works a few times after reset then stops working again. Is it likely the motor? How did you replace the brushes? Or did you just clean them? Also is it possible that after 17 years it could be low on fluid?
@@jaypeacock2810 Hi Jay, that's exactly the same issue I had. The roof (hood) would open but then stop when the boot (trunk) was about to lift, as though there was not quite enough power. You can manually open and close the roof using the Key which is hidden in the side of the Dashboard. this is designed for emergency use only though. Regards.
Bashir ZAMIR Hi Bashir, Could be anything, power, one of the micro switches, the controller or something else. Mine stopped halfway through the opening process, and this resolved it. An electric roof is complicated and far from straightforward. Regards,
Hi Blu, Had the same issue at one stage, the cover would open and then stop. Check the Hydraulic Fluid level and then try a manual full reset with the manual override key side of the dashboard. Regards.
Green-Crocs-Fixes Did you fix the problem? My A4 is doing the same. It will unhook from the front window, the back will come up, then the lid will pop but not open all the way up.
Should have checked online to see if someone else had made the same video as mine! Made this yesterday: ruclips.net/video/wWst9zJLOvw/видео.html It’s a fix I have to do every year to get the electric roof working again after the winter
Great back ground music had to watch the video twice as was break dancing on first watch 😅😅
lol Wayne,
my era hence the music, though I never could spin on my head or pop-lock 😎.
About to give this a shot, thanks so much! Brilliant!
Thanx Jon. All the best.
Sounds like someone has sampled Kraftwerk !
Thanks Steve,
but its actually Computer Age by Newcleus (80's) Hip Hop band.
Great video. Music was a little distracting as I thought my radio was on in the car. But it’s all god. I loved the music. Wondering who the musician is.
Noted!
Worked for me but I also had a broken wire going to the sensor that checks if the boot is lowered. It might be a common problem so look out for that !
Thanks for the info Senna and glad that you were successful,
Regards.
how did you fix the broken wire issue? I have the exact same problem!
@@harryrken I just soldered the wires back together and applied some electrical tape.
Great video
Cheers
Thanks Paulus,
Hope it served useful 😀
Great vid! Thank you 😊
Damian Vidal Thanx Damian,
Hope you found it helpful.
Great video. Music was distracting at first. I thought my radio was on. But it’s all good. Music was awesome, who is the musician?
Bob Cordeiro Hi Bob,
The song is Computer Age by Newcleus.
Green-Crocs-Fixes thanks appreciate awesome
I’m going to take motor out tomorrow and clean it. Great video
Bob Cordeiro Superb Bob
All the best, hope it’s only a motor fault.

Hi Dis521741,
I did not replace the Brushes, I only cleaned the Commutator. The oil level can be checked as the Reservoir is on the motor..
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 my motor and pump works but only opens the first part how can I manually rest my roof regards in advance

@@green-crocs-fixes1520 mate thank u so much I’m gonna go do it as soon as it stops bloody raining
I'm not actually having problems with the roof it's the rear deck lid not either staying open & or close during the operation
Hi bLu,
Sounds like a Micro Switch or broken Wiring.
PLEASE HELP - A4 CAB 1.8T 2007 56 Reg- Did exactly has you did but didn’t have any luck, electric roof not working at all. 🥵

@@green-crocs-fixes1520 i did & the level is full the only thing i haven't did was pull the lil motor out the car like what u did in ur your video
bLu OK Blu, give it a try and check the condition of the Carbon Brushes also for excessive wear, not sure if they are replaceable.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yeah I'm thinking about just replacing the motor i found 1 on eBay but I'll try 2 do what u did by cleaning it

Peter Hinds No worries Peter. Glad you got it working 😆
I feel like I just won a hundred tickets in the whirlomatic the video arcade. Please change the music! Or take it off, LOL. It’s hard to hear you.
The music is awesome, you take that back! Push the button! 😛
Thanx
