Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Panoramic Roof Issues

    Every now and again my panoramic roof decides it does not want to close. It happened a few months back, but within five minutes I pulled the button, and it did, but it settled in a mid closed position first. However yesterday on the way to work I opened it for some fresh air, a few minutes later I decide I want it shut, and nothing. I left it, got to work, then turned the car off and remove the key to reset, tried again, and all I could hear was some clicking in the roof lining by the switch, most probably from the motor. I then rang the dealer up here on the Sunshine Coast, because I was worried about whether we would get some rain, but they could not promise to look at it that day. I decided to make a call later in the day, to the dealer in Brisbane I had used previously, because they have let me on a number of occasions drive in a short notice, because I only really wanted the thing closed. However before I rang, I wandered outside again, which would have been three hours later, to try it one more time, and it decided to work again!! This time it also settled in a half closed position, before finally shutting completely when I operated the switch.

    Has anyone had anything similar happen?

    Hi Colesy, I believe there is a manual mode to close the roof if you get stuck.

    In the car manual states to remove a cover near the roof light and should be screw with Allen key fitment to close.

    No issues from my end touch wood, then again only owned for a week.
