Audi S5 Cabriolet 2011 Convertible Roof System Repair

Audi S5 Cabriolet 2011 Convertible Roof System Repair

Audi S5 CabrioletConvertible roof system repair29.06.2026

The customer brought us a 2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet with a fault in the convertible roof system. A sensor in the roof system had failed, causing the roof to lift and get stuck in the wrong position, while the mechanism could no longer complete the opening or closing cycle correctly. This type of fault requires careful diagnostics, because several sensors, limit switches and control units work together in a convertible roof mechanism. We checked fault codes, roof position recognition and the movement of the mechanism so the roof could be safely released from the incorrect position without causing additional damage. We performed the following procedures: - Convertible roof system diagnostics with a tester - Faulty sensor location - Releasing the roof mechanism from the incorrect position - Sensor and wiring inspection - System testing through several opening and closing cycles After the repair, the convertible roof works correctly again: the roof opens and closes normally, and no active fault codes remained in the system. The vehicle was returned to the customer with a working and safely tested roof mechanism.

Volkswagen Passat 1.4 GTE HybridTurbo replacement

The customer brought us a 2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.4 GTE Hybrid after symptoms pointing to an oil leak started to appear in the engine operation. During diagnostics, we found that the turbo shaft seal was damaged and the turbo had started leaking oil into the intake manifold. This kind of fault should be repaired in time, because oil entering the intake side can cause rough running, smoke, and in the worst case further engine damage. We removed the necessary components, inspected the intake system, and replaced the damaged turbo with a new unit. After the repair, we checked the system for leaks, verified oil tightness, and tested engine operation. The car was returned to the customer in good working condition, with the risk caused by the turbo oil leak eliminated.
