Roof activation results in wurring noise but no action

Post by Paula J »

Hi There
Used the retractable roof mechanism for the first time yesterday since about September. Only opened the roof part way because we just wanted to repair some silicone to stop a drip. Went in the house then when I came back out, noticed that the top part of the roof was resting on the boot lid. Went through the manual process to fully open then close again. Now when I try to open the roof electronically, I can hear a wurring sound but nothing happens. So it's trying to do something but nothing is happening.
Any ideas please before I get charged a small fortune at Peugeot?
Thanks
Paula J

Try checking the hydraulic fluid level. Sounds like it may be low as I assume the whirring is the pump running.
