A4 Cabrio hood failure
The hood on my four year old Audi A4 3.2 S-Line convertible stopped working.
The car has only done 16,000 miles. Is this normal on a four year old car?
If not I would expect Audi to admit that the pump was faulty and pay the cost of replacing it. The quote to repair was £1400. Who should pay this bill?

Quite a common failure, yes. If the car is fully Audi maintained, a decent Audi dealer should be able to get a goodwill contribution from Audi. If not fully Audi maintained, much less likely.

More emphasis on handling, comfort and refinement than pre-facelift model. Very classy image.
