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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just recently my radio reception has gone up the spout. Took the car to my local ICE dealer and they informed me that a tiny amount of water has got into the windscreen and eroded the aerial They say that nothing can be done apart from getting a new windscreen. Is this true? I don't really want to have to pay hundreds of pounds just to get to listen to some overweight Northener each morning Is there a cheaper/better way of getting my radio signal back :? If I do have to replace the windscreen can I be sure that this will cure the problem? Migration info. Legacy thread was 49965

POST 2Original post

Rich, most insurance policies will pay for a windscreen replacement with a small excess (about £60). This would also not effect your no-claims. Migration info. Legacy thread was 49967

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Erm, if I have a new windscreen fitted, does the aerial in it need to then be attached to anything? Migration info. Legacy thread was 49969

POST 4Original post

the radio maybe ? Migration info. Legacy thread was 49977

POST 5Original post

I would'nt change the windscreen unless you have to. Replacement 993 windscreens seem to be a bit fickle to get right as many forum posts have pointed out. Migration info. Legacy thread was 49981

POST 7Original post

your local GSF (german swedish and french) should be able to supply a nice one. And lots cheaper than Halfords or Porsche. Just make sure the aerial says its "amplified" and you should be fine, then attach the aerial signal to the stereo head unit and the little red wire to a + power source. And you're away again!
