02' A4 1.8T sunroof "chatters" last few inches when openeing andclosing HELP !
 

I have had this problem for sometime. It gets REALLY annoying in the
damp humid weather. In the cold dry weather it's almost gone. SO
humidity plays a big role. The track appears fine / greased. Could it be
the actual motor and cables ?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds familiar. I had the sunroof motor fail on me after a few weeks
of this "chattering" on my old A4. It would've cost silly money to fix
so I had to have the sunroof permanently closed after the motor jammed
with the sunroof still open. I'd take it to a dealership asap and get
them to look at it before it goes kaput. Incidentally, my Audi was 5
yrs old when the sunroof failed.

Hi Phil

This happened to my old car back in 2000. It was a 1995 A4. If you do
get it checked out can you let me know how you get on? I'm intreaged
to know if I could've done anything to save mine before it died. Once
it had died IIRC I was quoted £800 to fix it or £1k to replace. I
paid £130 to get it closed.
