    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Your fault codes are different from the ones I had. One of the your fault codes refers to a comfort data bus and I believe the earlier models had a comfort control module under the drivers seat, which mine doesn't have. So your wiring could be different. When I was researching the problem, a...

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    On my car it is the purple/white wire that is the control signal to the rear right door module. My car is a 2013 model, so the colours could possibly be different on yours. There are only 3 wires to the module: power, earth and control. The control wire is thinner than the others.

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Start by removing the trim from the side of the foot well (see picture). You should be able to get to the front end of the loom as it runs along the cill under the plastic trim. There is almost certainly a break in the wire as it runs from the gaiter into the car body, behind the trim panel.

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Before you pull off the door card I would check the continuity of the purple/white wire in the door gaiter. The wire runs in the loom alongside the driver's seat above the cill.

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Problem solved. It turned out to be a broken wire in the loom gaiter to the driver's door. Pretty poor for a car that has only done 40k miles. Hope this helps others on this forum

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Hi, I haven't solved the problem yet. I have power to the window module, the door switch and the fuse are OK. I have tried swapping all the relays under the dash. VCDS show no communication to the window module. I have ordered a new module (expected delivery is 21st May 2018 and hope that will...

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    I have connected a VCDS to mine and it says no communication with window controller. The door switches and fuse are OK. I have ordered a new control module and hope that fixes it. But, I am now worried that you have changed the module without success. I will post the results once I have...

    A3 Cabriolet 2010 Roof/Window problem

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my 2013 Audi A3 Convertible. The driver's side rear window doesn't work and this prevents the soft top operating. Would you mind telling me where you found the solution? Thanks David
