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!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It makes perfect sense as mine my start to work when I open and close the boot or either of the back doors. I will look into changing the cable

Hiya, just checked my paperwork (should have read it more closely!), but they also noticed a kink in a cable going to the camera. The notes say that when they moved the cable, the camera would come on intermittently. In the end, they replaced the cable to the camera and associated wiring. The camera has worked 100% of the time since. Hope that helps!

Hi - I have recent acquired a 2008 A6 (C6)avant sline and I am experiencing rattle from the front brakes driving over rough road surfaces. I note the car has recently had new discs and pads and only 10% worn. I have renewed the caliper springs on both sides and this has largely improved the problem but annoyingly there still some rattle from both sides. Being a sline with harder suspension is this a common problem on these cars on our bad roads. Further my local garage has inspected the suspension and can only find that anti-roll bushes may required to be replaced in the distance future, and could only be an advisory on the MOT, but offer no more advice. Anybody had the same problem and solved it?

Exactly, I was shocked when I found out. Definitely worth looking for speaker adapter kits first.

You're welcome and yes.

For "lower pulley" do you mean the crankshaft pulley? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I shouldn't really be surprised by this, as I actually work for a car manufacturing company and they do everything they can to cut costs. To them it's all about the bottom line, they all say the customer comes first but in reality it's profit first. Customer satisfaction is a secondary thought. Wonder why there is no brand loyalty anymore. I was actually thinking of the aftermarket route when I asked the question, just can't find any info on the speakers like I said.

Hi I'm thinking of buying my first Audi what do you think of the Audi A7 55tfsi c8 2018? It's has full Audi history on 34000 miles. Just wondering it there are any major issues with this car. Thanks for any advice in advance
