Passenger footwell water - comfort module
Hi all, I think it know the answer but need to check.. Cars been sat up for 6 weeks as I have an EV and im looking to sell it I thought I had better give it a run, but battery was totally dead So brought battery in, charged it, but keys wouldn't unlock the door or boot so assumed it needed re-paired to the car as the battery was so flat I started the car, worked fine - great BUT.. When i tried the sequence to re-pair the key fob, there was a hell of a weird vibration noise coming from the front oaasenger side, the glovebox was vibrating like mad Turns out the passenger footwell is soaking, proper soaking - i peeled the carpet back and there's a few cm of water 😞 Am I right in saying this is where the comfort module is? Is it being in water likely the noise somehow and this is the real reason the fob doesn't work the central locking? I love the car but if this is what it is id imagine its expensive and not worth fixing 😞

Groaning/rubbing noise when turning steering wheel
Hi all Just recently I've noticed when I turn my steering wheel either way, even whilst stationary, there's a concerning rubbing/groaning noise which appears to ( I THINK!) come from the front passenger side wheel area. The power steering fluid seems fine, it's at max. Anyone know what this is likely to be? Is the car safe to drive until I can see a mechanic on Monday? Thank you

Obc mpg caklcs
Hi, my car got serviced yesterday and now the MPG calcs are acting weird Ie, on "2" setting which is the long term mpg, it fluctuates all over the place! I had the spark plugs and all filters changed, is it possible they reset fuel trims or something and that's cleared settings and will take a while to settle down? Thanks

Cleaning glue off softtop
Previous owner had someone "rebond" the glass and they must have had a gorilla do it, there's silicone or glue all over the place on the back of the roof Does anyone know good products or methods for removing it without damaging the fabric? Thanks

Stock audio upgrade
Are there upgrades that can be done? Ie better speakers or do you need to also do the headunit too? I take it the newish BT enabled screen headunits wouldn't fit? Mine is current basic audi symphony one What's the standard amp that's in the back? Thanks!

Servicing
Having changed my own roof motor successfully and feeling confident, I'm now up for servicing myself! Is there a how to for oil changes, filters etc anywhere that anyone knows of? Are spark plugs easily changed on these? Re air filters, does anyone recommend anything other than the standard ? Thank you

Roof not opening!
Woohoo! It was indeed the motor, working Like a dream now Interestingly, when !Removed! the new motor to the pump, the bolts are as tight as they go but there's a very very slight bit of movement between the motor and pump, really really tiny amount, but does thar sound right?

Roof popping 2cm then nothing
Hi thanks, I'm in Glasgow though! Have ordered a motor, hopefully that's all it is Wonder if it maybe even just needs fluid topped up? Nightmare to get to it though yo check so will wait for the motor to arrive and check Any ideas how to top the fluid up?
-
Roof popping 2cm then nothing
Thanks, what software do you need to properly diagnose?
-
Roof popping 2cm then nothing
Hi, can you give me some pointers on where to check? It is weird as it worked fine for a few weeks after buying it then just stopped operating properly and no flashing error light or anything, just pops then nothing else I'm struggling to find ant diagrams of where the sensors etc are, can you help?
-
Roof popping 2cm then nothing
No nobody near who can do one for me Is it daft me buying a motor just incase it isn't that? I can get a motor and pump for £280, as opposed to £140 just for motor, am I better doing that? The fact it pops open a few cm then nothing apparently suggests it's the motor only?
-
Roof popping 2cm then nothing
I can see replacement motors on ebay for about £140 which is great but daft question... is there a "pump" too? What are the chances it's the motor as opposed to the pump I need replaced? Thanks

Removing rear light cluster
I need to change my rear indicator bulb When I use my 8mm socket to try and undo the nut in the boot, it just turns and turns and turns without ever actually getting the bolt part out Am I doing something daft!?

Roof not opening!
It's interesting as it was fine Then one day my wee boy was placing his bag into the boot and since then it didn't work Could the tray being nudged have done something?
-
Roof not opening!
Agreed, but I don't want to even go back to him, already had issues with a broken pcv valve, spring and a few other things! Is there a guide to get to the roof motor?

Roof not opening!
Hi all, bought my 2006 a4 cab few weeks back One day the roof wouldn't close, so I manually closed it Now though, it unlatches at the windscreen but doesn't go any further, roof opening light on dash stays constant, no blinking When I push down to close it electronically, it does close itself Does this sound like the motor itself? I've seen someone on ebay offering a refurb which I'll go for, but is there a guide to accessing it to remove? Any chance I'll notice it just needs a fluid top up when I have access to it? If so, what fluid does it take? Thank you!
