Default 01 A4 2.8Q - suggestions requested (2 issues)

Hello,

I have a 2001 A4 2.8Q AWD.

The Sunroof does not slide... If I push the button it tilts back but it will not slide. It was working & all of a sudden it stopped. What can I do to bring back full functionality?

When I go to fill up gas it takes a long, long time. It fills up maybe $.50 at a time before it clicks... its very annoying & I have no idea what the problem is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If the sunroof does not slide at all, you'll likely need a switch

Your tank is likely not venting, possibly due to a sticky or clogged valve. When you push the flap at the filler neck, you should hear a "click in or around the tank." Another possibility is a damaged fill hose. Look in the filler neck for damage.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Pull down the light above the rearview mirror. Turn the light off.
Spray the switch with RadioShack Contact Cleaner. Turn the switch
to clean it.

I tried cleaning the switch by putting the contact spray from RD. The switch is not the problem, when I turn the switch to open the sunroof it moves & tries to open but it cant & moves back. What could the problem be? Is there something that can get stuck & prevent it from being moved?
