T5 roof blocked on the right side

[tcosta26]

Hi to all,

My T5 electric roof just got stuck on the right side. If a try to push it with my hand, the left side goes up but the right side don't. I believe it's better not to push it to hard to avoid some serious damage. I went to VW and here in Portugal the only thing they have to say is that the T5 (2005) is to old for them to repair and when I ask to informal VW mechanics they always say that above T4 it's to risky to repair. Can you guys advise? Is there any mechanics specialised in T5's in Spain?

Thanks for the supports

Cheers

It would look to me as the right hydraulic ram (pushing cilinder) isn't working. Can you see any traces of hydraulic fluid leaks?
If you look at the right rear side with the boot open, can you see any traces of greasy fluid coming from the grommet on top (with the hole in).
If you look under the bonnet, under the plastic trim under the front windshield on the right side, do you see any traces of a leak there?





Is the sound of the hydraulic motor the same as before?
Do you have any error messages showing on the display?
