If you’ve checked all the connections & aerial etc, then my first port of call would be the ignition switch at the base of the ignition lock ass which is a known issue, It’s a bit fiddle but an easy DIY as it says in the links below it’s a Audi part, I can no longer see it online at Euro parts give them a call it’s part No A40 905 849B

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, Can anyone help. I have a problem with my radio, when I turn the ignition on all is well, radio perfectly clear, the problem comes when I start the car, the radio goes off and I am left with a crackling sound like it's gone out of tune, if I switch the engine off and leave it for a while turn the ignition on it will work again OK until I start the car then it goes off again. I have had some one look at it but he could not find a problem, he all the checked the connections. The car has a PCM unit fitted, sat nav working OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks jb1
