I can t believe this. I just went out side and tried this on my 2010 Q5 that I have had for a year while all along thinking the sunroof didn’t work. IT WORKED!!!! About to ride around with the Pano roof open in the winter😂! Thanks!!!!
Hey Guys, I have a 2015 Audi SQ5 & it ran a flat battery overnight about a month ago at least (completely my fault) Car started, no problems, battery fine APART from sunroof & sun blind not working. I have tried everything but nothing, no go, nitto 😦 I rang a dealer and they said bring it in & leave it with us. Weeks have gone by & I thought check You Tube & what do you know, My Solution is staring me straight in my face. I have just followed your procedure & guess what, ..... it works it works 😃😃😃😃 I am absolutely Buzzin Thank You So Much Mate, You have made a very stressed 50 year old man very happy (me) 10/10 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. THIS WORKS & IS A COMPLETE LIFE SAVER !
Dude!!!!! Thank you for this!!!! I just put a new sunroof motor in my mk6 Golf and nothing happened... I was on the brink of ditching the car and found your video - works perfectly now!!! THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU! Dealer quoted $1000 to fix my sunroof (2017 VW GLI). Said they had to take the whole roof apart and clean it to fix a problem where it would go halfway then stop and reverse when closing. I tried cleaning the tracks myself, didn't fix it. Did this quick trick (I didn't need to do the fuse btw) and now it is all fixed!
I don't think even most mechanics know that you can reset the controls this way. I bought my 2014 Golf Sportwagen on April 21 and the dealer's mechanic couldn't find a pertinent solution. I took it to my VW mechanic and he said serves me right he warned me not to get one with a sunroof because for a mechanic they're nothing but headaches. Normally if he knew this trick he would have told me to try it first to see if it helped. He might not know of it. I had to randomly pull fuses till I found the right one a 25A fuse, not 20A a few positions above what some online fuse diagrams pointed to as the sunroof fuse, but the second attempt and it went thru its cycle and everything is working with just one touch. Even the sunshade blind. Thank you!!!!
The dial stopped working on my 2009 Audi A4 Avant Quattro. I thought the switch was broken since the control worked otherwise, just not when you turned the dial. I did the calibration suggested and it worked like a charm. My sunroof control is now fully functional! Thank you for the video:)
Thank you! Since I replaced the battery in my Tiguan 2011 I've thought my sunroof motor had stopped working. This dial button is really poorly explained in the manual. Your video was really helpful and it worked for me! (After 1 month haha)
Today I turned off my car while the sunroof was opening. When I came back the sunroof button didn't work automatically anymore. The lock button wouldn't close the windows and unlock wouldn't open them. Trouble code was B13C654 power sunroof control module no basic setting. I did not need to remove my fuse, I just held down on the sunroof switch until it ran through the cycle and that was enough now it all works again. Thank you so much for this
Very helpful thanks. Managed to break the cog of my panoramic roof motor, Audi wanted £406 for the part, replaced via ebay for £6 and used this video to reset and all is well!!
No, didn't buy a replacement motor, just the cog off of eBay. But if your cog is snapped you have to ask why? They are designed to break if under too much load. Rear blind motor is easy to get to. Drop the roof lining at the rear and it's there, not too far in from the boot
Replaced the sunroof motor in my 2011 MK6 Jetta and the switches functioned completely opposite of what they should have done. This worked like a charm, even with a replacement OEM motor out of a different Jetta.
Thanks so much I have been hand cranking my roof manually for 6 months I even thought about a 5 gallon can of gas and a match but thanks to you it works great! Merry Christmas
Thanks!!! You saved me a couple hundred bucks it would have cost to have an Audi dealer “take a look” at it. This worked like a charm on my 2014 Q7 Prestige. Thank you so much!!!
I wish I can rate this Video to 10 stars I am so happy I was able to fix it like for free.. VW dealer asked me to pay 120 $ CAD just to diagnose it. And 250 to replace the motor. Thanks really 👍👍👍👍
Yo tuve un problema con mi techo panorámico en mi Tiguan 2015, no respondía la perilla ya que cambié la batería de esta y se desprogramo, hice este procedimiento y me funcionó de maravilla, muchas gracias bro!!!!
Thank you!! My Tiguan sun roof would not work after I had a dead battery. I did not have to remove the fuse. Just do the procedure that you showed with the switch, be very patient waiting for the sync to start and don't let go until it finishes ... then everything worked again.
Jonathan Haruni yes that is the first thing I did before I made this video, I found that taking he fuse out helped more, great that it worked either way 👌🏻
Him: "I am not responsible if you damage your car" Also him: *proceeds to damage his car by losing the fuse. lol All jokes aside, great video bro. You saved me. My sunroof was acting erratically by randomly opening and closing. This did the trick. Thanks! You have yourself a subscriber!
Thanks buddy this worked great!. I thought initially my sunroof motor went bad and swapped it with the sunshade motor which is identical only to find that it still didn't work.
In case fuse blows with roof open, no spare fuses? Use the Allen key to crank it closed manually. Click off the overhead plastic cover and you will see the hole. Look in owners manual for step by step. Next video the mechanic hopefully will point out the manual crank port.
In my case didn’t worked with poping out the fuse . But i meneged to solve my issue by removing power cable from the motor of the sunroof , while it was moving and after that i was able to do the adaption for the sunroof .
This tip has saved my life, I have a 2012 VW touareg and my sunroof would try to close, but stopped almost upon closing and would retrieve. I performed the reset and it's all good now, thanks a mil. BTW, it started to rain when this happened.
So you have to fix the motor in the sunroof, before you pull out the fuse? Or will pulling out the fuse and resetting it will work ? I’m having an issue where it won’t slide all the way back but it will tilt up and down just fine it get stuck when I try to slid it all the way back.
I tired it on my -12 skoda yeti, didn't work. Does the sunroof have to be in closed position when I do this? I had it half closed (because of the problem).
Why is your headliner stained around your overhead console? Looks like you had a small "leak" (more likely water backup from clogged drains) at some point.
peacefrog0521 No I never had any water issues, must’ve been someone working with dirty gloves or when I spent a long time trying to figure this out taking the sunroof motor in and out countless times
i have same problem but its not open. this morning i open it with no problem. after its not open at all . can this operation help to solve the problem ? my car audi A7 .. 2014
Around time 4:42 you saying OEM part was not working, but original part was working. What’s the difference between OEM and original? I though it was the same thing.
I was saying how I tried another motor that was also oem that didnt work, when I said original I was referring to the one that came with car and not a replacement
Ok, just bought an A4 B8 and found out that the motor for the sunroof is missing, looking to get another motor to put in, just concerned why do I need the original motor. I have access to a VCDS so if I have to relearn or chance serial no I'll be alright
Sebastian Sebi It just didn’t work for me when I did try it for myself with a diff motor, but someone in the comments said it worked for them so you can give it a shot too
Bend Em mine was broken, bought a replacement gear online that was a close fit for this car because they don't sell the gear alone, it comes with the whole motor
My sunroof in my '13 is suddenly stuck in the cracked up position. I followed these instructions exactly and no luck. It makes a clicking sound when I try to close it. Any other suggestions to try?
acidvoodoo1 my sunroof does not manually close when i turn the Allen wrench...please help...the motor sounds like its running but no movement.....i was driving on the highway and trying to close it to the perfect position” and then it just stayed at the point where it is almost closed and rain in getting in now
Any ideas 💡 when the sunroof motor works but won't move sunroof at all and even manual key by hand won't work. I did reset it also and still not working.is it the tracks and where is the loose piece people talk about In the tracks ? My sunroof almost closed and won't move. What to do next everyone in the know of webasto sunroof for 2011 A4 Audi
hey i had that same problem so i replaced my motor today with a used part. do you know how to calibrate the new motor? it is fully functional but it is as if the motor doesn't acknowledge where fully closed is on my sunroof and fully open.
What I did was plug the OSB in to a computer software and manually "reset" the motor while it was closed so the problem is fixed and my sunroof is fully functional now.
@@pitsulful2 hold down the button until the sunroof goes through the adaptation process and once it closes back down at the end of it, let go of the button.
Busted gear that’s supposed to move the mechanism that actually moves the glass which is what actually happened to the one on the vehicle in the video and needed resetting afterwards
I replaced that broken gear because it was just the shaft spinning and not doing anything and then did what you see in the video to get it working back again. You can take yours out and inspect it and see if the motor and gear moves freely as it should but doing that will definitely need resetting like the video. A scan tool should also have the function to perform all of the steps in the video automatically without any fuss pulling or button presses.
@EvolOne-ic5xv no, I didn’t even have a replacement audi part that I could find as a piece sold separately, found one for ford that fit and worked, it’s that little 3/4 inch gear at the end of the shaft. You can also try manually moving and see if that would do anything but at this point doesn’t sound like it would, gotta take the center buttons out to be able to access the manual setting with an allen key
I can t believe this. I just went out side and tried this on my 2010 Q5 that I have had for a year while all along thinking the sunroof didn’t work. IT WORKED!!!! About to ride around with the Pano roof open in the winter😂! Thanks!!!!

Very helpful thanks. Managed to break the cog of my panoramic roof motor, Audi wanted £406 for the part, replaced via ebay for £6 and used this video to reset and all is well!!
Where did you find the part number?
There isn't a part number for the cog on its own as Audi will only sell you the whole motor.
So you bought an old motor and took it apart? My motor works, but the sunshade doesn’t move, suspecting the cog is broken too....
No, didn't buy a replacement motor, just the cog off of eBay. But if your cog is snapped you have to ask why? They are designed to break if under too much load.
