If by chance it truly is a top motor problem, I have a backup motor available. Usually the motor doesn't fail and it's a wiring or switch problem. Sold my Cabby and still have a few parts.

So I crank it up this morning - no noise. Yesterday was a hot day and I drove it for about an hour. 114K on this pump - original. I'm going to replace the filter and re-evaluate, but I'm thinking...

Thanks Rusty. I was counting on you to give me the straight story. I'm going to disassemble this all tomorrow and check it out. I knew about the initial priming and always heard the pump a little...

'95 Cab. Fuel pump makes a loud buzzing noise. When turn ignition on, not all the way to start, it will buzz for 5-10 seconds and then shut off. You can touch it and feel it vibrate. Audible all the...

I have checked every connection and line that I can see and feel. That's why I'm focusing on the fuel tank expansion chamber and the EVAP system. There's a Audi Self-Study program concerning the...

Gas Fumes

I've had it with the slight hint of gas fumes in the trunk and cabin when I don't drive the '95 Cabriolet every day. Every fitting I can get to is dry. I believe there is a crack somewhere in the...

Engine insulation

95 Cab. Power steering fluid leaked from the reservoir due to original clamp failure. This leaks down the left body/frame member to the dip where the steering arm is, and then saturates the...

I am not experienced with that engine, but slop in the belts is not a good thing. The power steering fluid is the green stuff, same as the convertible top motor fluid. I experienced a similar issue...

I'd be suspicious of the window motor as well. You could check the fuses, called circuit breakers in the wiring diagram, but they will probably be OK since the other windows move. Same for the relay...

Additionally, there is a plug under the bumper just aft of the rear nut on the pump motor. Remove it and you can fit a deep socket in there to remove or loosen the back nut. I am deeply honored that...

Is that your famous auto trans to manual trans conversion? By the way, the '95 Cab, or at least the early production ones, do not have the key switch to unlock the top. Belmat, these...
