This has happened to my wife's 2004 A4 Convertible 2x's. I had to read the owner's manual several times to get the job done correctly (pages in the high 70's to low 80's) ...the following is offered from memory: The handle/tool needed to accomplish the task 'manually' is located in the fuse box on the LEFT SIDE of the dashboard. A small flat blade screwdriver will enable you to pry open the fuse cover & gain access to the handle/tool. Slight twist the tool and it comes out easily. Tool is a "T" shaped handle. Once you have the handle/tool IN HAND, simply turn the RED part (only) on the handle until it 'locks' in an open position. Leaves a small space on the handle. Can't recall if you go clockwise or counterclockwise, but it will be evident. Now...move both front seats forward and tilt them to gain access to rear seat. Remove the ski boot cover in middle of the rear seat and put aside. Then, 'click' the interior boot cover panel down to gain access to a 'hole' (about size of a 50 cent piece) in the top of the boot space. This hole allows you to insert (upward) the above mentioned tool into a lock/unlock mechanism in the rear deck just forward of the trunk. The tool needs to be jiggled to go 'all the way' in...you will sense that. Once in, TURN the RED part of the handle to "LOCK" the handle into the mechanism. The tool will hang down by itself. My approach is to 'store' the roof in the open convertible position first. The front portion of the roof should be partially forward as that appears to 'release' a lever within the roof's up/down mechanism to allow you to raise the rear window portion. Thus, lift (with that friend) the rear window portion up and forward (takes some effort). The roof now has a kind of 'clamshell' appearance front & rear. The front may even flop forward but tht's OK. This step exposes the rear deck. Twist the tool to unlock the rear deck. It should click & release and a small space appears enabling you to use hands (that friend again) under it (the deck). Lift the deck up & back until the hydraulics kick in and keep the deck vertically open. Now you are ready to tackle the roof & rear window for storage under the rear deck cover. Get a friend, if possible to help with the lifting...remember, this is a "Manual" job! Once here, gently push back & lower the rear window portion of the roof into the open storage area simultaneously followed by the remainder of the roof itself. Watch fingers for possible pinching in the levers, etc., during this part of operation Hopefully you now have the roof & rear window stored in the area in front of trunk and be able to lower the rear deck to almost closed position. If so, go back to the tool and twist it to 'lock' the deck in place with roof stored. Remove tool from the ski storage area by reversing procedure above. Now comes the "Moment of Truth"! With the ignition turned on and car running, use the roof switch to bring the stored roof up and all the way to the closed position. Don't forget you must keep your finger on that switch until the operation completely finishes. Then, reverse the process to open & store the roof for a good blow dry (drive)! I hope this helped somebody! Jim [ jmccormack@mindspring.com ]

Get the vag-com cable from eBay for $20 and do it or take it to the Audi they will do it for $30 there is Noway to do it with out vag cable

Does this vehicle use the FSS system? If so:

-First remember to perform ALL of the procedures MB recommends at this service interval. Failure to do so may result in an unsafe condition.

-Do not use oil that hasn't been approved by MB for your vehicle unless the oil is cheap enough to justify sacrificing 90% of your engine's expected service life. This engine if fairly expensive, BTW.

-Turn the key to the on position.

-Press the buttons on the steering wheel to display the 'Basic' screen.

-Then, press the up arrow.

-Press the reset button near the left side of the instrument cluster.

Take the back seat out and crawl to the trunk key tumbler with a screwdriver.

It's an yellow warning indicator lamp. It lights when brake pads are weared. Now it's time to replace the used brake pads!

Yes they do as all cars have a sump plug located on them although some are located on the side of some cars instead of directly underneath.

my guess is to take it to the Audi dealer.....took me almost an hour to do change mine......stupid plastic caps over the lugs.......

Found this on another web site....don't know how useful it is, but I'll find out myself tomorrow !

Hi I've just changed a bulb and it is very easy - I have a Audi A4 cabriolet and the instructions were not in the manual! So, to save money and not visit a mechanic, here goes!> Open the boot of the car - locate the plastic flat plug, just behind where the rear lights sit. Turn it half or third of a turn and pull it out. (it's just a cover with 3 flanges - like you get on the bottom of a piggy bank!) In that hole there is a screw - undo it and pull it out - it's quite long ~ 5cm. Now the scarey bit..using your finger nails grip all around the edge of the back light fixture/ coloured glass - and if it's the left rear lamp you are gripping push/wiggle to the left....or the opposite for the other side. You see, the only thing really holding the back light fitting to the car is 2 little balls, which stick out from the back of the car like nipples, and actual light casement is slipped onto these sideways when the car is built. Keep wiggling it very slightly while pushing to left. Suddenly it will come away in your hand. Once off locate the bulb that's blown, #REMEMBER to turn the lights off and remove keys from the ignition!#, Give the bulb housing half a turn to remove the bulb-with-the-socket and change the bulb (remove=quarter turn and extract, replace = push bulb in followed by a quarter turn to fix). Be careful to replace the bulb with the right one - you can read the bulb's description from the metal trunk of the bulb itself---eg could be like - 5w 12v for a rear light etc - get them from Halfords 2x for £2.50. Hope it helps Time for Tea!

Usually, a circle with a sideways "S", indicating a fuse or fusible link.

"Yes. The Audi A4 is offered in a 2 door convertible and a 4 door sedan. Both styles of tops offer different classes that are the Premium, the Premium Plus, and the Prestige. Each class offers its own set of options and perks."

I believe its under the passenger side carpet.

The power steering pump on an Audi A4 is changed by draining the coolant, removing the radiator hoses, and pulling the accessories from the front of the engine. The pump can then be unbolted, the gasket replaced, and the new pump installed.
