Xantia Ph2 Sunroof Engine/Motor acting strange

[Renanek9]

Hello my friends

 

Well, another topic about Xantia's sunroof. This system is not at all well designed and it is a headache for many owners from what i could see.

 

My roof was locked and sliding a little out of alignment. In the first few centimeters it already stopped sliding. After a quick look, i´ve found that the following part where broken

 

 

And, with a little help of some zip ties....

 

 

Everything where just fine... It was working absolutely perfect and smooth. Here´s a video:

 

 

Now, after 3 or 4 weeks (2 of these kept in the garage), I went to open the sunroof and it found itself stucked.

 

I tried using the emergency crank. No success.... I couldn't turn in any direction. After a few attempts (crank + sunroof button) I managed to get it back up and running.

 

But now it's working making this weird sound. It sounds like it's "pulsing". Watch the video:

 

 

The battery is perfect. Brand new. And it is not possible to observe any changes with the vehicle on or off.

 

Any help, please?

 

Thank you guys!

I had the same problem with one.

It was probably (I didn't dissassemble it) the gears in sun roof motor set

Fixed by replacing motor set.
