check the oil level in pump reservior
check the wiring in boot lid opening for breaks

have had wiring looms check and no fault there,as for oil, where is reservoir located,the roof can operate over 12 times before it all goes weird,have been told it might be soleniod in boot lid part number 8GO959639 so if you know where to get some cabriolet parts let me know,cheers

Hi did you find out where this resovoir is?

Today I had audi out as roof trips when all parts are up (boot lid section at back that lifts up to reveal storage bay just looses pressure and drops down). It's booked into dealer for next week, but roadside guy suspects micro switch on roof box lid is out of adjustment or faulty!?!?!

Code is 02000 switch - setting implausible signal..

Thanks!

All gone wrong again roof opens and once its been closed for a while, when you go to close it the red roof light on dash just flashes and roof does nothing.have to close manually but boot remains locked once it releases roof works okay till left open for a while the same thing happens,always the boot remains locked once it opens the roof works fine..........................AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS CAR WILL HAVE TO GO
