Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Hi, I have a 996 Gen2 C4 Cab 2202. My hood was working fine it then suddenly stopped halfway through being put up. I had to use the manual override to get it closed but now the rear side windows will not come up at all they were fine before, front side windows are fine. The roof has latched closed correctly, there is no warning light on the dash, the parking brake light comes on when the brake is applied, there is no warning that the engine lid is open and the battery seems fully charged. The hood no longer works but in doing the manual override I have changed the pressure settings on the pump. The electric bits work IE the latch etc. its just the hydraulic bit of the hood that doesn't move but the rear clamshell does move!!! My questions are: 1. What is the correct setting for the hydraulic pump the gold Allen key on the front that is adjusted by the long red Allen key? I am sure I have completely ruined any setting it did have when I did the override 2. How can I get my windows up and why are they not working? Thanks so much for any help __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here:

POST 2Original post

Ok answer to number 1 is completely screwed in. That emergency plug only releases pressure held by the pump so that the top can be moved freely. Screw it back in and the top should activate. Answer to number 2 could be related to the top being uncalibrated. Try to address number one first, when closing the top hold the close button until the top closes, AND the windows roll up. This helps teach the control unit by going through the whole process. - Casey
