Roof open halfway

[estrizhok]

We can meet this week as of Tuesday i.e. at your garage (or in Giesing, my home) and I can connect your car to my Y3 diagnostic system.

Hey Robert,

I sent you a private message here on the forum yesterday asking for details for the meeting that you so generously offered. Did you perhaps missed it?

Got it and sent an answer right now.

Hi Robert,

Any chance we can meet before Friday?
Today I received my Carly. No roof related errors. Now your magic diagnostic tool is more desirable than ever.
Also, I found out that this forum has email notifications turned OFF for private messages by default. That's why we keep missing them.

Cheers
Eugene

RobbiZ4 is the resident roof expert ...

Interestingly, I've seen his car parking in Munich last summer and placed my Z4 business card on it. So he already had my contact details, but missed it.

With the new Y3 Roof Diagnostic System I was able to diagnose the following:

Well, that was a very interesting fault I haven't seen before!

As written, the rear roof shell came up, but the pump didn't stop and tried to push it further.
After some checks, this switch in the rear panel was electrically fine, no broken wires or sth. else, but it did not change it's switch state. We gonna have it replaced soon.

Funnily, I've already seen his car parking in Munich last summer and placed my Z4 business card on it. So he already had my contact details, but missed it.

Mightily impressed by all the hard work and time that has gone into developing a tool that makes roof diagnosis now seem so easy.
Well done indeed Robbi.

Well that was a quick diagnostic and hopefully and cheap and painless repair

I'd say, yes, it was:

Bloody hell - would not want to see mt car looking like that

No, no, that was while replacing this microswitch, not a fault situation.

I know Robbi but would still not want to see mine looking like that

You would love this view, I promise you. If you go back to the initial post on page 1, you will read what brings more tears to my and your eyes:

They said there wasn't any error in the computer and that it is a hydraulic leakage, and quoted me a 2500 euro price tag for the repairs (allegedly, the roof needs to be dismantled).

A nonsense quote of 2.500€ for a hydraulic repair, where no fault is. And I often get told these stories!!

Oh I remember the initial post, I said you were the resident guru on roofs and €2,500 is a joke, why would they have done when the guy said ok change the pump and it still did not fix the problem - would have been an interesting conversation one thinks

...and €2,500 is a joke, why would they have done when the guy said ok change the pump and it still did not fix the problem - would have been an interesting conversation one thinks

Interestingly, a pump costs about 3k plus some 100 bucks for mounting. What would this guy have done with 2.5k? Nothing at all? And then, asking for a surcharge? I'd make him some...
