Hi all,
looking for advice on where to look for issues. Was driving in this morning when my lovely DAB reception suddenly went crackle/thud and then my DAB began reloading the station list randomly. Also although I was able to switch through my audio sources (DAB/Radio/AMI/CD) I couldn't hear anything. I fear something has died. The one thing I had done before it went off was to use my rear wash-wipe. I am aware of issues with the wash-wipe feed working loose and shedding water over the components in the rear and I had this checked and the pipework replaced about 8 months ago. It seems perhaps using the wash/wipe at the rear today has caused this.
I've left the units off to dry out for a few hours while I'm at work and hopefully they'll recover. However, if the worst does happen and I can't get any audio where do I start with diagnosis? I can probably get my local specialist service people to give me a dump from VAGCOM but is are there any other things worth checking.
I had a feel around the units when i arrived at work and I can't see any obvious signs of water ingress.
Hopefully if any units have gone pop i can get 2nd hand replacements on ebay but I assume these would then need coding to the car (not that I know how to do that!). My car is an 07 plate 3.0 TDI Quattro. I am guessing this is MMI 2G (I've got the early 3D style maps).
Any advice appreciated.
thanks.
