Hi Guys I bought my 2006 3L A4 cabriolet a year ago and starting to have regrets because parts are hard to find. Had to go to Sweden for new front spring. Now wings are rotted with only two new wings left in Europe at over £500 each. Solution is to buy A4 wings and cut out the wheel arch then, treating it as a repair panel, weld it onto the original top wing. Roof will not go down. (works manually with the key) Alarm needs deactivated every time the door is locked. Good news is that the floor under the passenger carpet is bone dry. Bad news is that the windows stick down OR up as they wish. REALLY bad news is that the only CCM available is over £300. 8HO 959 433 M Great news is that it is perfection to drive. Fast and very sure footed. It even knows where I want to go before I do! Indeed just as sure footed as my 60 year old 2CV ('though my 40 year old TVR wins hands down. Off now to dig up a Comfort Control Module. Brian

Hi Liam yep mine are down again too i would imagine that everyone affected by the initial “outage” early April are affected once again

I've still got an open case with [email protected] to understand why the last blackout happened. Maybe individual enquiries from each of us would raise their awareness...

I suppose it could be a single transmitter gone wonky this time

Yes I think it might have been, maybe its a software update at the transmitters

Yeah I may give up, no videos will upload no matter what I try

Was it exactly 1 month ago that the stations all came back?

I seem to be in the minority, all my DAB stations are working….at the moment?!

Just got in my car.. all dab stations not working again! 😨😨

Ditto. All D1 national have gone again.

Yep. I was listening to BBC, so didn’t notice but having just checked…of the 8 or 9 stations in memory, BBC stations work (as before), as do Classic and Times Radio, but all the others are gone. I knew I wasn’t happy with ‘fancy that, oh well’ as an explanation when they came back before.

DABGate strikes again. 🤣

Ok thanks for letting me know, if as many people as possible can confirm on here overnight, then I will call Arqiva Arqiva - TV, Radio, Satellite Data Communications & Smart Metering tomorrow. The more evidence the better

Just checked mine, I've got perfect reception at the moment. I did find out part of my problem, interference from a dash cam set up (Blackvue) with a rear camera. It was fine until I did a software update about 6 weeks ago. Fitted ferrite filters to the rear camera lead at both ends and it's been fine ever since I did that.

Hi i have a 1990 Audi coupe 2.3e 5 cylinder 10 valve which has an oil leak and i think its coming from a part which is attached to the side of the engine which may have a gasket i could replace but i dont know what this part is called. I was hoping someone on here might know? Thanks. Its the silver metal piece that is bolted to the side of the engine under the black hose. Thanks.

So just an update, I’ve had top mount replaced, track rod end, ball joint and drop link all replaced at a cost !! but the creaking noise is STILL there !!!! mostly on a slow left turn it’s like a creak, springy sound. I’m sick of throwing money at it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Stopped at around 14:00 for me

Yup same here. Was driving along the M4 and it just suddenly stopped working at around 2pm. Same as before.

Just asked copilot AI ' The UK DAB National transmission network is primarily controlled by Arqiva, a major communications infrastructure company. Arqiva owns and operates the Digital One multiplex, which has been broadcasting since 1999 and covers over 90% of UK households. They also manage the Sound Digital multiplex, launched in 2016, which provides additional digital radio services. Additionally, Ofcom, the UK's media regulator, oversees broadcasting licences for digital radio ensemble operators and stations. Arqiva - TV, Radio, Satellite Data Communications & Smart Metering

it just started working again after a couple of weeks .. but who knows this time !! xx

Hmmm, thanks for confirming. If anyone knows how it got fixed last time, it would be good to know

yep same ffs x

Has this just happened again? One minute all DAB stations working fine, the next, no DAB National again. This happened around 2pm today

Yes, sounds like cabling/loose connection - good luck!
