I would look in the boot, behind the rear seats etc. You'd be surprised how many items get dropped and you don't realise it. I remember a case where it was a shoe that had jammed the mechanism. Cheers Steve

I know that feeling Lol, to be fair I'm 28 and didn't look after my body when I was younger, and I guess even now. Working 6-7 days a week. My back is already shot, along with my neck and in the process of being diagnosed with carpal tunnel. Some of it is due to some serious car accidents haven't helped to be fair. But hey ho we carry on 👍

The first thing I'd do is check there's nothing blocking the mechanism. I would argue it's not a motor/pump issue if it's doing the same thing when you do it manually. Cheers Steve

If everything mechanical is working in the engine bay as it should then that would suggest the heat controls have potentially failed. It could be a heater blower motor or heater blower resistor. Also looking at similar threads about this topic on the forum suggest it could be a blocked heater matrix. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Shay, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Take a look at our search box as I know failing soft top roofs has come up a few times.

Welcome to the forum Emma, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The 2.0 tfsi engine is prone to excessive oil consumption due to Piston issues. I believe the 1.8 is more reliable. Here's a YouTube video which will help: Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Andrew, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Hope you find a buyer. Please could you add some pics as this might help with the sale. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Gary, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 My brother and a friend of mine both have had custom powerful exhausts. You can modify both the exhaust note and tailpipe. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Expect to pay £400. Cheers Steve

I do not believe the wiring would be there unfortunately. I wouldn't normally put in links to other forums, but this is a retrofit for a b6. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/retrofit-auto-dimming-rear-view-mirror-ch-lh-picture-heavy.247262/ Needless to say it's not going to be cheap. Cheers Steve

Oops! Sorry you've got so far to now backtrack. Looks good though, great work 👍

Glad you've replaced the battery, please let us know how you get on with the other jobs 👍 Cheers Steve

Hi Phil, On looking at a previous post on here regarding this issue. Audi technicians advise it has to be glued back into place. Appears to be a common issue. Your local motorfactors will have the correct adhesive. Cheers Steve
