A6 Quattro Sunroof Update

[Fred Munro]

If the Audi garage stripped the manual drive, Diane, they should at least
cough up something towards its repair. A truly reputable shop would replace
it for you if it was their mistake - but truly reputable shops are truly
rare.
A washtub and spoons can make great music - after sufficient beer is
consumed...

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that apparently the Audi garage stripped the
cylinder that the manual crank goes in the last time this happened. I know
it goes in hard (what were Audi engineers thinking?) but the crank just
spins.

The update is this AM I rolled out extra early to present myself at the only
remaining Audi garage WITH non-vacationing techs in my neck of the woods.
They closed it, but said I need a new motor - only because of the stripped
cylinder which,  if I don't get it, means no manual closing ever. Hard to
believe the demise of this little cylinder is reason to scrap the whole $
450.00 motor. :<

This bad amp is going to end up costing me about $ 1,500.00 for the 3 visits
to the 2 dealers and various replacement parts, not to mention the cost of
the replacement amp. After this all I can afford musically is a washtub and
a couple of spoons. Thanks guys.
