Hi,
My wifes A4 cabriolet roof is locked in the open position, (roof fully down). It will not unlatch electrically from the centre console switch. Vcds is showing 02000 - Switch Position: Implausible Signal. Checked mvb 001 and this indicates all switches are ok, output test also seems to complete ok (can hear the relays or switches activating) as it cycles through each one.
I have located the manual key from behind the fuse cover and inserted into the manual release socket between the rear seats (upper of ski compartment). Key is inserted correctly, twisted a quarter turn and locked off by turning the red bit of the handle 1.5 turns. The key fails to turn counter clockwise no matter how hard i try to turn it, the key will only turn some 20degrees or so with alot of resistance.
Obviously i do not wish to use any hand tools to increase the torque with fear of breaking something and making things worse.
Cannot see the mechanism to apply lubricating oil and unsure of what to try next.
If anyone has any suggestions, it will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Martin
