JapAudi

not on VAG cars. I've imported about 20 and been underneath them all on a lift, the under body protection is the same as UK cars

took the headlining out and tried to run the relearn process but it didn't help. The blind works fine so I swapped the motors between roof and blind, didn't make any difference so the issue must be in the mechanism some where. Decided taking the mech apart was more effort than I wanted to expend so put the headlining back in and just won't use the roof. Maybe in the summer if I still have it I'll pull it all apart and try and fix it

I import cars from Japan. The cars are the same as the UK ones, you can use all the same parts and the undersealing is the same. The reliability is the same as the UK cars, great if the servicing is done. The Japanese Audi dealers seem to be a bit hit and miss with updating Erwin so ask to check the service book to make sure its been looked after, google translate will do a great job translating it. The infotainment is easy to convert, look up https://github.com/jilleb/mib2-toolbox , https://mibsolution.one/#/1 and https://mib-helper.com/

Hi, I've got a late 2012 A6 Avant C7 3.0 TFSI which is imported from Japan. The panoramic roof isn't working from the switch on the roof, neither the sunroof itself or the blind do anything from the switches. I've plugged VCDS in and run the basic settings to relearn, the blind is fine but the roof itself opened but not all the way then closed, then opened again, not all the way and then stopped. I've tried to hold the switch, run the process multiple times and nothing works, in the end I had to close it manually with an allen key. I feel like there are 2 issues, the motor works but it seems to not be able to fully open the roof and it seems to struggle, I've tried to help by pushing the roof as it goes but it doesn't help. Looking at the mechanism there is some loose foam from the headlining around it so I suspect it has got into the mechanism and is jamming it. The other issue is I suspect the switch panel has failed, the interior light is intermittent and pushing on it makes it work again which suggests a loose connection? Is there a way to see if the switch is working in VCDS? I've bought another interior light/switch panel but its not the same, it doesn't have the glasses holder but the switch looks the same so when that arrives I'll try it but would be good to see if the switch is working or not Any tips for diagnosing or fixing?
