I had this issue since the moment I bought by S8 D4. Went ahead and applied your strategy and the noise was reduced but ended up disconnecting it lol Its not a big deal to have this feature and now I have peace :)
Great video! I just bought an Audi A8 2013 and unfortunately it came with this weird sound,but thanks to your video I found the cause of the problem. I found the motor for cheap and I will replace it,thanks a lot! :)
Was able to unplug the module rather easily. Removed that one screw in the sunglasses holder, pulled housing down and disconnected the module. Fumbled putting housing back due to section connected to the windshield fell off. Wasn't expecting that and virtually needed 3 hands to put it back. Got it done in less than 12 minutes. I would suggest putting a piece of tape on the portion close to the windshield to hold it in place before disassembly
BRILLIANT!! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! thanks for the solution!!! Have owned my A8L for 5 years and I've been wondering where that sound came from and how to resolve it, now I know how...THANKS AGAIN!!!
The crazy part is brought my A8 to Audi Tampa and they were clueless about what the exact problem was. I will most definitely disconnect that motor. Thanks...
@@Erv704 yessir. Initially the moonroof would not close on its own after removing that wind sensor. But after adding some wd40 to the track, it closed smoothly
Pulled it off in the d4 version 1 bolt and a gentle pull to get the switches off Shove a plastic fork inbetween the car and the motor Can’t test it without taking for a drive but if it works, I’m telling everybody that my once flagship car has literally been repaired by a plastic fork 😂
@@zlatanzifovskijr4576 i dont have any personal experience with the wd40 cleaner, id assume that it probably has similar properties to rubbing alcohol tho
Clean with invisible glass. 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper spray with water while sanding in a circular pattern. 900 grit wet/ dry sandpaper same 1200 grit wet/ dry sandpaper same Headlight buff compound with micro fiber towel. Rub on wipe off. Clean with invisible glass. Apply wax let dry buff off wth micro fiber towel.
Great video. Thanks for the help. This goes to show that you should never get the beige interior either. It's always scuffed up and dirty looking.
Excellent job on explaining things on the fly like that. Even without a camera person, you did well enough. Thanks for sharing this fix.
Absolutely, thank you for the comment

Worked perfectly! The noise went from really annoying to a soft whisper, which you only hear when the engine isn't running. So thanks a lot! :)
Anders Ljung great! Glad I could help

Thank you very much to share this video. After 10 miuntes the nasty noise was history and for an A 8 very cheap.

Great video . Thank you.
Spasibooo, perfekt
Pulled it off in the d4 version
1 bolt and a gentle pull to get the switches off
Shove a plastic fork inbetween the car and the motor
Can’t test it without taking for a drive but if it works, I’m telling everybody that my once flagship car has literally been repaired by a plastic fork 😂
Did it work?
Thought it was pretty ghetto till you said 300$! 😂
Thank you
Can anybody help me because I have a 2004 and there are no torx screws after I pull the light out and idk how to get the rest off? And ideas?
Cool thanks for the advice.
U bet!
Hey question a while back my sunroof would not work at all when operating the switch and the upper lights do not come on when pressing them any ideas?
Likely a problem with power feed to the upper console considering the lights also do not operate, i would look into the possibility of a blown fuse.
@@ChronCrew the lights work when the door opens but not when I press the buttons 😂
@@zlatanzifovskijr4576 try removing the upper console and cleaning the circuits/contacts/board very thoroughly with rubbing alcohol
@@ChronCrew I already tried it with wd40’s green electrical cleaner unless you think alcohol makes a difference I’ll try
@@zlatanzifovskijr4576 i dont have any personal experience with the wd40 cleaner, id assume that it probably has similar properties to rubbing alcohol tho
$300 I rather use a 1cent folded paper it seems to to do the job. .
Mine does that same nosie it's annoying. .
Thanks, Now how do I get rid of foggy head lights?
Phillip Hanley . Rubbing compound on a micro fiber cloth, rub vigorously and then wipe clean!
Clean with invisible glass.
600 grit wet/dry sandpaper spray with water while sanding in a circular pattern.
900 grit wet/ dry sandpaper same
1200 grit wet/ dry sandpaper same
Headlight buff compound with micro fiber towel. Rub on wipe off.
Clean with invisible glass.
Apply wax let dry buff off wth micro fiber towel.
Does anybody no the problem the car sign on the top also keeps on blinking
I have a 2006 Audi A8 water got into the cup holder and now the lights in the interior keeps on coming on and of by it’s self
The mmi control board in front of the cup holders has likely been shorted due to the water leak
What is 1 2 3 buttons for at the roof?
Garage door opener
