CD Player Issue
 

The CD player in my 2000 Boxter will only eject the disk sporadically. Sometimes it only takes 2 or 3 attempts. At other times 8 or 10 will not do the job. Occasionally the disk will only partially come out and then go back in.

No variance in routine (face closed/face open, after playing/immediate attempt, old disk/new disk, etc.) seems to make any difference.

The unit is the upgraded system for that year's vehicle.

Any ideas?

Try a CD lens cleaner first in case it's just dust. If that doesn't help, the eject motor or rollers may be worn. You can gently assist the disc out, but a repair or replacement might be needed.

I tried a lens cleaner without effect.

Not sure how t assist it since no portion of the disc comes out. Looking in the slot I can see the disc come up, but nothing more.
