I first noticed water splashes on the plastic next to the area where the drivers feet are, A pillar area following heavy rain,initially thinking that water was getting past a door seal. Further investigation revealed water was leaking from the panoramic roof,onto the headlining then running down the A pillar trim,behind the plastic panels and being absorbed by the sound deadening under the carpet. By this stage there was a lot of water under the carpet as the sound deadening is plentiful and acts as a sponge. A bit of searching on here pointed towards blocked drains...there are 4 drains,the two front ones exit near to the front door check straps on the A post,they are just visible when the doors are open.The two rears exit at the top of the boot opening,again visible when the tail gate is open. Mine were not blocked.Bugger. A bit of a red herring followed,the external seal that runs around the perimeter of the sunroof,it has a felt edge was slightly torn on my car,it was that way when i bought it,that must be the problem...so i stripped the head liner out of the car...not the work of a moment...dropped the complete sunroof assembly...which is surprisingly easy,its held in place by 12 or so T30 bolts...its just heavy,ask a friend to help.Then i replaced the seal,which was approx £80 and put everything back together. Just to note,there was evidence of slight weepage at the point where the drainage tubes connect to the sunroof,its really obvious with the head liner removed. I have addressed this by securing them with stainless fuel pipe clips,lightly tightened,as the stubs attached to the sunroof tray are made of plastic. I was not best pleased to find i still had a leak....infact it was worse than before,and on both sides now. At this point i thought i had found the answer to my problems on the Yeti section of this site. They are fitted with the same sunroof. Actually the same roof is fitted to a lot of VAG estate cars. Someone with the same problem had been able to stop their leak using a solution that boat owners buy that finds cracks and seals them. This solution is applied to the visible join between the plastic front section and aluminium sides. Brilliant...that worked....well long enough for me to put the car back together including the now dry underfloor sound deadening. But the next instalment wasn't good news... So,headliner removed again...quicker this time...sunroof out again,its really obvious why these things leak,the joins between the aluminium side sections and front plastic section are subject to flex, there is little structural integrity. I separated the joints just enough to see that inside is a flexible rubberised seal,this was carefully removed and replaced with a good dose of black tiger seal which oozed out nicely when it was all put back together. The joints were clamped for several hours before the sunroof was put back into the car. And here we are,i have fingers crossed,i'll test it properly tomorrow,i want to give the tiger seal 24 hrs before subjecting it to the jetwash I just wanted to put this here incase anyone else runs into the same problem,its do able by a competent home mechanic, actually probably anyone can do it,i'm living proof. I honestly wouldn't buy another car with a panoramic sunroof,when you google to try to find a solution you realise this is far from an isolated incident.

For those who prefer to see the list of VCDS owners in a map format then take a look at this link. If you need VCP then there is also a map of owners here (PM me if you want to be added to the VCP map with your contact details) The current release of VCDS can be found HERE (Not for use with 3rd party interfaces!) If you have genuine Ross-Tech VCDS (VAG-COM) or genuine Vag Tech VCP (Vag Can Pro) and are willing to assist other members, then please post the required information using the ‘Add Reply’ button and we will then amend this list to include you. When this has been done your post will be deleted to keep this thread tidy. Please remember to include which type of cable you have. Cars built from 2015 are now starting to use some controllers that the HEX-CAN / Micro-CAN interfaces cannot read, for these you will need the latest HEX-V2 or HEX-NET interface. Details of members who have not visited Briskoda within the past 2 years and those whose names no longer exist in the list of members will be deleted to help keep the list current. If you change your username or move areas then please inform us via this thread so we can update the list – please include your old username and location to make it easier for us to update the list. (If you have disappeared off the list, have you changed your username??) When your post disappears from this thread, you are on the list and map. THIS LIST AND THE MAP IS PURELY FOR VCDS + VCP if you have a handheld type of scanner and you wish to offer your services then you are asked to add a line or two in your signature. Please be patient as I can’t always update the list and map midweek. _______________________________________________________________________ Vehicles require the following systems: Citigo (NF) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN / Micro-CAN Felicia (6U) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Pick Up (67) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Fabia I (6Y) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Fabia II (5J) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Rapid (NH) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Octavia I (1U) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Octavia II (1Z) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN / Micro-CAN Octavia III (5E) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN* / Micro-CAN* Roomster (5J) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Yeti (5L) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN / Micro-CAN Kodiaq = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN* / Micro-CAN* Karoq = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN* / Micro-CAN* Superb I (3U) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN Superb II (3T) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN / Micro-CAN Superb III (3V) = HEX-NET / HEX-V2 / HEX+CAN* / Micro-CAN* * = vehicles from 2015 may use controllers that the HEX+CAN & Micro-CAN can no longer read, for these you will need the HEX-V2 or HEX-NET interfaces. If you want to contact a member for help with VCDS please either hover over their username on their profile or a post they have made, a window will appear with “Send message” either click on this or click on their username and the hyper-link will take you to their profile, from there you can send them a PM. You can also tag them in your post by typing their name after an '@' for example type: @Gizmo and you will get a list of members who's username starts with Gizmo: click on the person you want to tag, providing they have notifications set up they will get an email with a link to the post. Before you send a message look at the ‘Last Active’ date, if the member has not visited Briskoda for several months then it will be unlikely that they will reply to your PM, in this instance try another local member. It is also worth satisfying yourself that the VCDS owner has sufficient knowledge and experience before they make any changes to your car and what costs are involved, some will do it for free, others will ask for ‘a drink’ and there are a few that offer this as part of their job so will have a set fee. The area members have been grouped into are NOT exact, but simply to help others locate you. _______________________________________________________________________ Location = Briskoda Username = Cable Type Scotland Aberdeenshire = w.t100 = VCDS N.
