Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / January 2005Crackling Radio
The radio in my 205 Pug has started to crackle and I can hardly hear the stations, but if I put on a cassette you can listen to it without any crackling. Could it be a loose wire, how can I trace the wire to find out if this is what's wrong, or could it be caused by this weather, maybe some water lying somewhere? > The radio in my 205 Pug has started to crackle and I can hardly hear the > stations, but if I put on a cassette you can listen to it without any > crackling.

Most likely a poor connection to the aerial. Check the plug hasn't fallen out of the back of the radio, then check the connector onto the aerial itself. Otherwise it is a fault within the radio. >> The radio in my 205 Pug has started to crackle and I can hardly hear the >> stations, but if I put on a cassette you can listen to it without any [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > itself. > Otherwise it is a fault within the radio. Absolutely. It can't be the amplifier or the power supply so it must be the aerial or the RF section of the radio.  SignatureMalc I forgot to tell the news group that the radio work's fine when the car engine is turned off. ====== >>> The radio in my 205 Pug has started to crackle and I can hardly hear the >>> stations, but if I put on a cassette you can listen to it without any [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Absolutely.

Still no change in the answers really. It's probably a poor connection to the aerial and more probably the screening at that. It could be the suppressors in the spark plug leads I suppose. Presumably the crackling changes pitch/speed with the engine? SignatureMalc |
