R231 Vario Roof Diagnostic Aid
Does anyone have access to "R231 Vario Roof Diagnostic Aid" and if so can you pls post it.
I know there is one for the R230 but, it is different than the R231.
Hopefully there is a document for the R231 and someone can provide ...........Maybe Jetta Red who has helped with EPCs
THANKS, Steve

I don't have anything, but maybe @crconsulting does. In the mean time, I will check XENTRY.

Unfortunately, right now I don’t have access to anything other than the new version of the swine flu….

@steve sl550 did you have any DTCs? Seems to me some sensor should have started screaming.

Interesting : there are no DTCs.
Only alarm is the "trunk open" dash indication if I don't push the trunk down and latch it.
Think I might have dodged a bullet and will be OK when I latch the trunk and perform a "roof open" operation and then a "roof down" operation should return the L arm to the correct position.
BUT to be safe I'm going to wait until I am at the Dealer next Tuesday.
AGAIN big THANKS for all the help (I was adrift without the videos) !
