Audi A4 convertible top malfunction and Hall sensor problems

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

|

Convertible top cannot be opened or closed

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2011 Audi A4 Diesel. The convertible top no longer opens and closes and a warning light comes on in the speedometer. I think the fault could be with the hall sensor of the convertible top. Have any of you ever had a problem like this and could tell me how it was solved in the workshop? I would really appreciate any tips.

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2009 Audi A5 diesel, I have little experience with cars but decided to tackle it myself anyway. I took the car to the garage and they found that the fuse was faulty. It only cost me 70 euros, so it wasn't a big problem. Can you please give me more information about your car? Maybe then I could help you better.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. My mileage is 139754 km and the last inspection was about 6 months ago. But so far the soft top has never caused any problems. I don't know anything about cars either, so I wanted to ask here before I go to a garage. Your tip about the fuse sounds good, maybe it really is just a small thing. Thank you!

No problem, always happy to help! Of course, there could always be different causes, but in my case it was the fuse. Maybe you should have that checked. But based on your mileage and the fact that your last inspection was only about 6 months ago, it really sounds like something minor. You could also check to see if maybe just the hall sensor needs to be recalibrated or replaced. They did that on my A5 once and it wasn't really expensive. Let me know what comes out of it. Good luck!

Thanks for all the help! I think I'll take my car to the garage first and ask them to check the fuse and possibly recalibrate the hall sensor. It's reassuring to know it could be something minor. Will get back to you as soon as I have any news. Thanks again, you've helped me a lot!
