Convertable roof issue

[Sam Parker]

Hi,

have an 03 a4 convertable. The roof opens with no issues. If I stop 3/4 the way and close it there is no problem. If I completely open it then try to close it , the lid will open,I can here the hyadralic motor try to open the roof twice then the third time the roof move about 1/2 and inch then it stops and i have to close manually.

Why ideas?

Sounds to me you found the fault already m8 have a garage check it over could be the motor is on its way out

Thanks Paul, does the control module stop trying the motor if but does start to move then.

i bought a new pump with motor on Ebay   £150  ,once i read the detailed instructions for removal from autoelectron i decided to pull out the old unit then swap just the motor 

that was it fixed ..

Removing whole pump with motor attached is 3 bolts then its just 2 bolts to switch over the motor
