OSS extraction from vehicle

[ET Oddie]

Hi

Can anyone advise on how to remove OSS roof for overhaul as it will not open.

I have removed the head lining and all fixing on the inside .

Is there a factory guide available ?

Hi Eamonn,

 

the OSS does NOT need to be removed unless it is completely damaged and must be removed to replace it e.g. with another OSS.

All typical failures such as cable connection to front moving glas is broken, rear glass does not move anymore or motor makes rattling noise and roof does not open can be fixed with the roof still installed. 

Taking it out causes other problems, because you have to seal it and all required parts from Audi are no longer available...

I can offer you to reapir it and this repair will outlast your A2 most likely but I only offer this service in Germany.

Anyway I'm sure you will get help in the A2oc.net forum. There are also skilled A2 enthusiasts up there.

I heard there was a nice summer in 2023 in Scotland. It fell on a Wednesday.

I managed to pick up one from a Breakers Yard as a spare and to mess about with to understand the components on them which fail on them although cleaning and using correct lubrication appears one of the main culprits.

 

Cheers, and I think that day changes to a Monday every leap year.

What is exactly the problem with your OSS?

can you describe the behavior?
