    Poor radio reception

    With that site it does seem the sharkfin is the aerial. Im beginning to wonder if the replacement booster I got just wasn't any good.

    Poor radio reception

    A couple of years ago my car's radio reception took a nose dive. In general the reception is OK and picking up local stations and sounding clear but the list of available stations has dropped. When scanning for these further away stations they aren't found and occasionally it wont find more...

    Is the hand/e brake fail safe?

    Original work was done from a known VAG garage which I thought would be best to use even though it was 30+ miles away. This added quite an addition to my costs getting it towed there after if first snapped. I wasn't happy about the £30 charge for a brand of belt I can get from my local...

    Is the hand/e brake fail safe?

    The garage is probably more like 10 miles, plus I drove a mile or so back after it snapped. Also when I got the car a service report said the battery is only 60% good, so I think I am pushing it too much. All this started when I got my cambelt changed about 2 years ago. I was told the tensioner...

    Is the hand/e brake fail safe?

    Hi, Is the electronic handbrake / e-brake fail safe? Ie. is the default of the brakes actually and the electronics hold the brake off? My fanbelt has snapped AGAIN. The garage is a few miles away, although the steering is tough Im more worried about the battery. As it wont be charging I...

    Avon tyres: Any one experienced them? Im due a tyre change.

    I am due to change my front tyres. Originally I had Michelin Pilot on and wasn't impressed. I then went to Dunlop SP Sport 1 and they where OK, but neither of them have lasted very long at all. I was looking at getting something like Bridgstone Turanza T005, which is more of a touring tyre...

    Is there space for a spare wheel?

    I don't think the issue is perishing the rubber. I believe the tyre fitters issue was its not easy to remove to sealant from the typre and due to the residue of the sealant the puncture repair is less likely to stick. Having said that, I found the Holts tyre sealant website and they use a...

    Diagnosing poor radio reception

    Sorry I forgot to mention I have the full version of Carly and the accompanying Bluetooth dongle. That has shown no errors at all to do with the radio.

    Is there space for a spare wheel?

    Thanks everyone There was someone selling the whole set of tool kit, battery cover and wheel for £130 so I got it. It worked out cheaper then buying each part separately. Years ago I was told the spray puncture kits could be washed out and your tyre repaired. I understand that's not the...

    Is there space for a spare wheel?

    I think I found the answer. I need to get another toolkit, battery cover and then the wheel and it will work

    Diagnosing poor radio reception

    Is there a specific reader I need to read any radio errors? I've used the Carly just now and there are no errors. Would that have shown any radio issues? If it is a glass issue how to get it fixed? Could their be a break in the antenna?

    Diagnosing poor radio reception

    Running what diagnostics what I can run, there's nothing to do with the radio flagging up.

    Diagnosing poor radio reception

    What diagnostics can I do? I have the Carly for VAG but I don't think that has any diagnostics for the radio.

    Diagnosing poor radio reception

    Hi, I've had a few threads about this and left them at various stages. Long story short I get very poor radio reception. I replaced the booster with another one (which I can only presume is a working one) and it is no different. The next suggestion was to get a cheap aerial and plug that in...
