Hey guys. I got myself an a4 cabriolet 2006 3.2 petrol - lovely little car (actually inherited of my dad for free) and it has a few niggling issues
The boot and convertible roof doesn't work - the light is flashing on the dash to indicate it needs to be closed and unless you use the key, the boot doesn't open automatically on the fob. I did a little investigation and using my rosstech cable, I was able to do some output tests and the pump is working, the motor is working, all the valves seem to work so I wondering if a sensor has knocked off which isn't allowing the gates of 0s and 1s to be correct? I also unfortunately damaged the cable so it no longer works. I ordered an OBD11 to see if I can figure some things out?
The passenger door doesn't unlock with the fob, you have to press the button twice to unlock the passengers side. I'm having a look at the service manual to see if there is some kind of reset I can figure out. Maybe it's an acutator that's out and needs replacing or cleaning?
Also the windows are !Removed! squeaky. I've tried some wd40 but this hasn't done anything so I don't know if the door card needs to come off and I need to look at oiling the runners?
I'm not the most car mechanically minded person but I'm quick to learn and happy to give things a go. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll attach a couple of pictures of her being clean
Anyone that helps me diagnose my issues will have beer money and take away money on standby as a thank you. I could take it somewhere but I kind of want to give it a go myself.
