hi,

just wondering if any ones knows where all the drain holes are on a A4 avant B5 avant, (mine is a 2001 last of the b5 models) or has a diagram showing them.

im wanting to make sure they are all unblocked and clear of debris!


Also the thin trim covering the roof gutters how do you get them off with out breaking or damaging , again want these off to clean out

hope some one can assist

 

HI
Thought some one would have been able to answer this , on a site like this one, doesnt anyone have a diagram etc in a repair manual , explaing how to remove roof trim ???? and where all roof drains are located


your help is required and appreciated

 

The sunroof drains are right up in the little groove that runs all the way around the opening. They're little holes, about as big around as a ball point pen. The two in front drain down the A-pillars, the two in back drain down the B-pillars. FWIW, if you take your car to the nearest Audi dealer they'll do this for you for free.

As for the trim on the roof, I wasn't aware that it came off at all?

 

many thanks mate had a look last night couldnt find where the drains came out or where they started , certainly will try audi and see if will do them for free.

you wouldnt be able to take a pic from your to show me in the moon roof exact location of the drain and the exit points

if you could mate i really would appreciate that , like i say ive looked but couldnt find?? stange

 

sure man I'll see what I can come up with. Its possible they're so clogged with **** that you can't tell them apart from the rest of that gutter. There was actually a class action law suit against Audi of America because this problem caused interior damage to the tune of several million dollars. Though now that I read your posts it sounds like you're from across the pond so that may not be of any use to you

 

mate that would be excellent if you could do that for me

and yes im over in england, ill see if you can photograph the locations for me first and will try to clean out my self first , failing that or my holes arent there for any reason ill try to get audi to do it for free

once again thank you very much

 

audidiy.com shows you a how to guide i believe

 

cheers mate looked on audodiy

would you happen to know if its the same on the avant though , ??

 

the diy for sedan and avant should be the same. both require the rear bumper removed.

 

CCA4 sorry to be a pain

did you have chance to take pic of the front drain holes

is your moonroof/ sunroof the same as this
