    Cabrio roof wiring diagrams.


    So there's a Cabrio. 1992 or 1993, can't remember exactly but it doesn't really matter. It came with manual roof but now it has electric roof installed. Roof as well as wiring came from 1995 cab. Wiring is installed on top of old manual roof wiring without removing unnecessary components and it has some connectors cut off while removing it from donor (again)
    I took a look at the cab and decided to remove and redo everything properly so I'm in need of wiring diagrams for electric roof. So far I've found these:


    Audi 90 / 80 / Coupe quattro / Cabriolet - 1994 audi cabriolet convertible (top won't let down) - I just purchased a 1994 audi cabriolet convertible two days ago. I can't get the top to work. It didn't work before I purchased the car. I can unlatch the roof easily but when I pull the button for the roof to go back...

    But they're not much of use because wiring loom also has a 16pin connector C at roof control unit which is not shown in any of diagrams I've found. I also came across fact that wiring in late 94 and 95 cars is different.
    So the question is - does anyone has diagrams for 1995 cab with connector C in them or at least anyone knows what's that connector for?
    Thanks!

      So - turns out there a bunch of variants from MY95 onwards for the automatically controlled cabrio roof...

      MY93 - D67 (March 1993)
      MY94 - E04 (July 1993)
      MY95 - E28 (July 1994)
      MY96 - E45 (July 1995)
      MY97 - E51
      MY98 - 2000 is same E51

      Interestingly its only from MY97 onwards that integration with V94 (central locking) and the 'C plug' that I can see on a quick look.
      Let me know which versions of diagrams you need - I can process them sometime this week.

          The link below will take you to the "E51" schematics from MY97 onwards - this has the central locking controller (V94) integrated with remote control. Let me know if you need the MY95 schematic as well, but the wire colours and plug layout on your loom should easily determine which version you have.

          http://s2central.net/schematics/cabby/E51.pdf - its rather chunky at 15MBytes but hey

            Thank you both for input. I checked bot of those diagrams but none of them shows connector C on roof control unit
            Anyways I connected up everything that was cut and roof still doesn't work. Then I opened up control unit:



            This should explain non working roof and strange control unit behavior. Capacitor is burnt and there's some fresh solder under few transistors which means someone has tried to repair the unit. Without any success unfortunately. It's not completely dead as I can access it via VAGCOM, but few of its outputs are not working.
            Now owner is looking for working control unit and then I'll continue to work with it so MY95. diagrams would be very useful.

            In the mean time I got my hands on another Cabrio, this time with manual roof. Problem was with roof compartment cover - it was not releasing. I found out that roof control unit (yup, even manual roof has one) was missing and someone made this as "replacement"

            And because of this both releasing mechanism motors were dead.
            I'll post some information here what I've found about cabrio roofs later
