Some VW models have a preamplifier installed in the antenna base, and those units do often fail. Try connecting a temporary wire to the radio's antenna connector instead of the car's coaxial cable and see if you get better reception. If so, then the fault is not in the radio but in the preamplifier, in the antenna base or in the cabling in the car. Also, make sure that power supply and ground connections so the preamplifier are in good order. Btw, does the radio work equally bad on both AM and FM, or is only one of the bands subject to the fault? |
