Audi S6 Sunblind Stuck, Expert Fix Tips Needed

Having experienced the same issue on my 2015 Audi S4, I can shed light on this sunshade repair situation. The window visor system failure typically stems from two possible causes: a faulty motor or a broken cable mechanism within the sun blind assembly. In my case, the computer showed a similar error code. The diagnosis revealed a burnt-out motor in the sunshade mechanism. The repair required removing the rear window panel to access the sun protection system components. The job involved replacing the entire motor unit as individual parts arent serviceable. This is a moderately serious repair that requires specific expertise with Audi electrical systems. The car sunshade mechanism is integrated with multiple sensors and the main computer, making it more complex than traditional manual blinds. The repair took about 4 hours at the shop. While not a critical safety issue, leaving it unfixed risks the mechanism getting permanently stuck and potentially causing more damage to surrounding components. Would recommend having this addressed by a certified technician who regularly works with Audi electrical systems, as improper repair can lead to additional electronic issues with the comfort control module.

Thanks for the detailed explanation of the Audi sun visor malfunction. Our car blind issues sound very similar. I also had to replace the entire sun protection motor unit on my S6 due to failure. If you dont mind sharing, what did the final repair cost come to for your sunshade repair? And has the new interior accessory assembly worked properly since the fix? My mechanic is quoting a pretty high price so trying to gauge if its reasonable.

Thanks for asking about the costs. Yes, I had my car interior sunshade motor replaced about 6 months ago and the sun protection system has worked flawlessly since then. The total repair cost came to 330 Euro for parts and labor, which included testing the new window visor mechanism after installation. The sun blind repair was definitely worth the investment, as the automated system now operates smoothly without any error codes. The technician also checked the surrounding components to ensure no additional damage occurred while the motor was malfunctioning. If your quote is significantly higher than this, you might want to get a second opinion, though prices can vary based on parts availability and labor rates. The important thing is ensuring proper installation of the sunshade components to prevent future issues.

I finally got the repair done last week after getting quotes from several shops. The automated sun blind system repair ended up costing me 450 Euro, which was actually less than initially quoted. The shop found a reliable aftermarket sun visor motor that worked perfectly with my S6s computer system. The repair process took about 5 hours. They had to carefully remove the rear window panel to access the sun protection mechanism. While working on it, they discovered the original motor had completely seized up, which explained why the interior accessory stopped responding completely. The new window visor system works perfectly now, smooth operation and no more error codes on the dashboard. Really glad I got it fixed rather than leaving it stuck, as the technician mentioned it could have caused more expensive damage to the control module if left unfixed.
