Lost Sound on radio

[RS4ever]

I eventually got this sorted. After changing aerial and the cable from radio to aerial it was still not fixed. Then someone looked inside the amp and contacts were corroded. Careful soldering fixed it. Radio now works

Do you mean the AMP under the roof lining ? Ive booked the car into Audi next week to get it resolved. Once I find out what was broken I will update you all - Fingers crossed!!!!

I had a similar issue with poor Radio reception - the symptom sounds the same or similar.
I eventually traced it back to the diversity antenna (in the rear near-side compartment adjacent to the CD changer / DSP if you have one). One of the anntenas had a poor connection / dry joint. I ended up resoldering the connection and it's worked fine ever since.

I had exactly the same problem and it is easy to fix and costs nothing !! The last poster is spot on, its just a dry joint on the small blackbox attached to the CD changer cradle in the passenger side cubby hole in your boot.
You can confirm this by wiggling the connector going in and as if by magic the radio will come on.
Solution re-solder the dry joint yourself or get a friend to do it.....

If only mine was that simple. Had it in Audi last week and was quoted £554 inc vat to replace the aerial cable between the head unit and diversity antenna !!! Great value for money eh ! Thats on top of £190 of diagnosis !!
