Sunroof Service

[Wuffles]

No, I'm not joking, it exists.

LMFAO. £101 plus loose change for a tub of grease.

Oh, and they can't book the car in until the 25th July 2013 for the service, the squeak repair, the notchy steering update & looking into the naughty sunroof/windows not opening that time off the keyfobs.

They're going to call me back to see if they can organise a better time, what with me being in France then.

Sunroof service...ha.

! Blimey. That's a new one.

So is that part of the official service schedule for sunroof equipped cars then?

Or is it just a set of fixes and procedures that they have to fix with sunroofs so often - it's become it's own standardised book price.

How often does it need done. I have / have had decade old cars that have never had the sunroofs serviced. Either I'm fortunate that I've survived in what must be deathtraps horribly neglected by my lack of maintenance - or Audi can't build a sunroof properly in 2013. Glad I don't have one on the A6!

Scheduled apparently, and to answer your next question, it's based on mileage I think - of course, you'd want a sunroof serviced base on your mileage wouldn't you. It wouldn't make sense for it to be time based at all. I take some of that back if it is time based by the way.

Can anyone with a convertible confirm whether or not they charge extra for having no roof at all? That must be an even worse deathtrap surely.

IF they replace the bug stopper guard which is made of flimsy netting I'd feel less begrudged. I don't know if they do though.

Wonder what happens if you refuse to have it done.

Goon squad knocks on the door at 2.00 am. Taken away for re education probably.

Never mind mileage or time based, weather dependant more like!

What does the £101 cover ? there should be a itemised list of what this service includes. Seems very high to me just to clean the sunroof and apply grease to the runners.

Absolutely no idea. I asked, I was told more or less what you just said. They just interject a great deal more words in between the words "clean" & "grease" to make it sound better.

Does exist on the previous gen of A6 as I have a sunroof, besides greasing the rails they clear the four drains on mine located in frame at each corner ...

IIRC it is part of the 20K / 2yrs service, don't know if included in service price or not ...

Squeak found and removed. Would need a longer road test to find/fix the nasty screeching from the rear, no time for that at present as we need it back for Tuesday. They're putting new maps on it (which they are claiming is a 5 hour thing?!) so we're not getting it back this weekend, it'll be Monday now.
