Hi there
I've the very happy owner of a new A6 Avant so am selling my 2008 A4 Convertible. It would be a good buy for someone as I replaced the cambelt last year and sorted out a couple of engine oil leaks.
I get it washed and valeted, put the hood down for the first time in 2018 to take photos for autotrader. Needless to say, the hood won't go back up. I take it to my local soft top specialist who are great - all the motor for the hood is working fine. The problem apparently is the electronic box which controls the hood and numerous other things (all of which seem to be working). Apparently it's water damaged.
Apparently, I have to go to Audi and get them to replace this and re-programme it. It sounds like it will cost a fortune.
Given that I was hoping to sell the car for £3,500, has anyone got any advice? I don't want to see anyone a pup but obviously don't want to spend a fortune on a car I'm getting rid of. It's got 83k on the clock by the way.
Thanks very much everyone
Russell
