  1. Hi All, I turned my Aircon on today and there was a load hissing sound and no cold air…Sounded like i twas coming from behind the dash around the main centre vents…any ideas what part of the system is around here?
  2. Yeah some sort of adaptor, my car has a stander ariel and then another connector which i not plugged in as i have an aftermarket head unit..i am guessing this is the power for the antenna..?

  4. Any Ideas where I can get this?
  5. Hi, so my e46 has very poor radio reception. The previous owner put a pioneer iPod head unit in so I took it out today to check the Ariel was plugged in and it was..but wat I noticed was another a cable not plugged in an no where for it to go..a quick trip to the local Audi shop I was told it is the power for the Ariel antenna and has no place to go on a aftermarket head unit..first off is this correct and secondly is there an adaptor or anything u can get for it to work?
  6. Tried cleaning it up and doing a few other bits which people suggested...still rubbish guess i need a new one :-(
  7. Jack is this in the same place as where John was saying rear door pillar?
  8. Hi, Ever since I have had my car the radio reception has been bad I always put it down to the headunit but I have just upgraded the unit and the signal is still awful just cuts out all the time any ideas where the ariel is on these? I am guessing it is in the rear window somewhere but I cant see where>
  9. Thanks for the advice Jack :-)
  10. Yeah it is literally a few seconds then it stops and runs just fine...bit worried it was something to do with timing (a mechanic said) but I didnt trust his diagnosis...if its not going to damage the car il probs just leave it for now ;-) thanks for the advice mate
  11. Hi I have a e46 and sometimes not all the time when I start it up I get this horrible click click sound about 4 clicks then it runs just fine..? Sounds like tapets but after a second the noise goes and the car runs like a dream...is it something to worry about it?
