Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / January 2005puzzling radio problem
I have a puzzling problem on the radio in my 206. All of a sudden I have rubbish reception on AM. The FM stations are all completely unaffected. Anybody know what could cause this? Is it a fault within the radio? Cheers folks Bob In days of old when we could only get good 'ol medium wave the symptom you describe was the result of a poor earth connection. Nowadays the negative. Try cleaning the power connections. >I have a puzzling problem on the radio in my 206. All of a sudden I have >rubbish reception on AM. The FM stations are all completely unaffected.

Check the aerial connection as well, "earthing" used to occur there when it was metal to metal. >> In days of old when we could only get good 'ol medium wave the symptom >> you describe was the result of a poor earth connection.

That seems fine. you will probably find there is a small amplifier at the base of the aerial that is needing replaced > Oddly enough not usually, maybe the odd crackle.

That >>> seems fine. Try just replacing the removable part of the aerial. Did this on mine when reception was bad on FM stations and this cured it. BTW do you have a rear spoiler on your car that bends the aerial vertical when you open the boot, as this is what I put mine down to causing the breakdown of whatever transfers the signal down the aerial  SignatureTerry A reply is always appreciated, even if it's to say I was wrong! > typed something a little like this (allegedly): > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > the boot, as this is what I put mine down to causing the breakdown of > whatever transfers the signal down the aerial No, no spoiler. in any case the aerial is directly over the rear view mirror not at the back. |
