Update: I discovered that the rear of the sunroof has a tilt function - and that works 😀. The problem was the configuration of the CA Module - has to be reset by Audi technician. £65 diagnostic check to tell me what I already knew £200 to reset the config/settings. Basically, daylight robbery.

By the way. I added silicone grease as directed by the Audi sunroof YouTube vids and that made zero difference. The rails are fine, no evidence of any rub marks or anything in the rails/tracks. Nothing pops up about ‘pinch sensor’ when running the diagnostics during opening the sunroof. it’s just says ‘exiting due to safety issue’ and that it does not have the basic setting configured. I have no what’s wrong 🤔

Hi. Sorry for late reply and no follow-up from me. I’ve had some personal issues to deal with. So, The latest is…… Using OBD11 the fault code for the control system of the sunroof says: CA B154354 which means Sunroof No basic setting. But when I look at the long code it shows as: 52 80 00 04 26 02, so there is a setting, but I can’t verify if it’s the correct setting and why the sunroof fails to recognise the coding. I’ve attempted the recalibration and the standardisation (where OBD11 tries to reset the sunroof) and it still stops dead after opening 2 inches There is nothing in the way or stuck on the rails/ tracks and I’m stumped. looks like I have to take it to an Audi or VW specialist……. gutted I couldn’t fix it myself! No idea what to do.

I’m going to remove the sliding panel out of its track to visually inspect the rail it rides on. I believe there are 2 hex bolts at the back of the panel (which slides over the roof). I won’t be doing that until this 30 degree heat passes as I’m not wanting to melt. I’ll take some ‘how to’ pics as I do this home DIY 👍🏻🥃

Okay. Used my OBDELEVEN module. Forgot I bought one for IOS as never used it! There are no issues detected with the sunroof, until I started the recalibration - by sliding the ‘slide to start’. Then it then failed due to ‘safety issue’ it popped up in red the second it stopped dead after it had opened just 2 inches. So at least all the sensors etc are working correctly. Doesn’t mention anything about the motors or sensors. I think one of the arms that lifts the sunroof up and back has seized because the silicone dried up. Or something is caught in the track - so I’ll have a dig around with a cotton bud - if I can fit it in the gap.

Pulled out the fuse, also recalibrated it by holding the close button for 20 seconds. Both made no difference. i had used the sunroof a few days before the problem occurred, and had no issues with it before it fully seized. Can’t imagine the rail has failed - this happened during the 40 degree heatwave.

This is 2nd generation so I’ll look for that fuse
-
Thanks Steve. I will give that a try in about 20 mins! Thank you!

I’m pretty sure the lube had dried up on the rails or the mechanism that lifts the sunroof up is seized. Edit: I’ve seen videos on YouTube of older Audi’s where the cabin light/ sunroof control console can be dropped out of the roof - revealing an Allan key or Hex key fitting - to manually control the sunroof and wind it open or closed depending on where it was stuck. I can’t see any videos or anything instructions online, on how to do it in a Gen2/MK2 Q5?

Hi All. this started a week ago. The sunroof blind works fine. No issues at all. The sunroof does not open much - the motor sounds okay, it opens about 2 inches - upto the point where the wind deflector should start to rise up - then clunks and stops. It closes okay. seems to not be the motor as that doesn’t sound to be struggling at all. Lots of squeaks like it’s dry then a clunk and it stops dead, but I can’t get to the rail/ track to grease it. Does anybody know how to manually wind it open, on a 2018 MK2 FY model - so I can see the tracks and lube them up 🙂

Hi. Can you take a pic of the XS max phonecase sitting in the phone box so we can see how well it fits? i have the XS and XR but didn’t go for XS-Max because I believed it wouldn’t fit. Many thsnks.
-
But, IPhone XR does fit in the phonebox
-
These turned out to be ideal and highly recommend them to anyone with a Q5
-
Hi. The XS only just fits. XS max would not fit.
-
They kind of fit okay. Look okay will give them a fair chance to stay on.

The long story is nearly over They have a fair and decent Manager at the dealership, I luckily took pictures of the car when I dropped it off. Those pics proved the scratches and damage when I collected the car were not caused by me they are repairing the damage and gave me a full tank of fuel car is back healthy again so nothing too bad to be upset about thankfully it’s summer!

Seems strange as I believe the Mk2 deflectors cost the same £90 for 4 deflectors, £110 delivered, yet they send 2016 model items that apparently fit why not just have a webpage that says all models have the same deflectors as the window size and doors are the same sizes Hmmmmm. Have I been conned. https://www.weathertecheurope.com/uk/audi/2016/q5/side-window-deflectors/ Same price for both Mk1 and Mk2 hooefully they feckin fit I’ll let y’all know
-
Hi All Just had the front and rear deflectors arrive from Italy, I can’t fit them to the car as it’s in the dealership being mended - but, I’ve ordered Mk2 2nd Gen 2018 deflectors from them. As confirmed in the below receipt, yet the parts that arrived say 2016 model?? Are the windows exactly the same in Mk1 and Mk2 Q5’s? Side Window Deflectors # 82872 Audi 2018 Q5 Set: Front & Rear Set Color: Dark Vehicle Options: Generation: 2nd Generation £90.00 With delivery £110

HI Paul, It’s an Audi dealership! car was plastered with bird crap too! so I’ve emailed them to clean it off ASAP as that’s what my lifeshine guarantee demands. Not to leave bird poo on the paintwork. They will have to pay a fair few pounds to the hire company for the car I have.

Ok. The memory card started wiping older files as 90 videos of the car with bonnet up were recorded overnight - that’s the first batch of videos on the 24th May. Battery died at 04.15am 25th May. They somehow left the ignition on all day and night - maybe left the door open? The Audi tech then jump started it at 8.15am when they came into the garage, leaves the battery to a charger for 2 hours and takes but and pieces apart but does nothing else Have footage on laptop of them then driving car with an awful noise coming from the engine bay - which wasn’t there when I drove the car. Then they park it’s up and leave it get covered with bird droppings until I came along today on the 27th May Ive put the memory cards back in the cams. and will see what my tracker tells me next!

Okay. Been to the dealership. The reason my app showed low battery on the car is because they left the ignition on all night - I now have approx 70 x 5 minute videos of the bonnet up and no movement whilst the garage was closed overnight. Also some nice videos of their driving, talking about my car and guessing what might be wrong. The worst part, is knowing my battery was almost drained - ignition / coils etc just heating up for no reason until 10am the next day. Will copy all videos onto my laptop then put the cams back later.

I’m just trying to stay cool and be a devils advocate at the moment. The dashcam on the front is the one of most interest to me as it’s not too obvious and built into the rear view mirror. Hopefully as it’s hardwired in they didn’t turn it off. I know there is no need to do so much mileage in car with a drive system malfunction alert. ill be checking the whole car - which was in showroom condition, when I go tomorrow.
