Update on roof repair (fault code 1000):
I bought 4 x sensors to replace them following @Lambeth Cali instructions, but I just couldn’t get the roof to open to allow me to do the fix. So I booked into my local VW dealer to see what they would say.
I asked them their process and in fairness told me that fault code 1000 was going to be sensor related. Which I pretty much knew thanks to this forum.
On confirming this during their investigation I then had a choice:
1. Have to buy the full roof harness (£270+vat) and have it fitted + 15 hrs labour (£95 + VAT per hour)
2. They would snip the sensors off the harness and splice them into the old harness + 3 hrs labour.
No brainier price wise - but they refused to use any of the 4 x sensors I had purchased. It only required 2. Or tell me how they got the roof up - not that I fancied fiddling with the motor, etc..
In total it cost me £710. Roof works perfectly.
So if anybody wants to buy a harness with 2 sensors and another 2 separate sensors let me know!
Main thing is we can get out this weekend without walking with a hunch after it.
