I can't for the life of me find the page I had book marked where somebody had the same issue (not on this forum) and it was found to be something like the amplifier in the boot. I'll keep looking :)

I have thought about running the car and pulling fuses to see if I can isolate where the issue is.

Does anyone have a good clear fuse layout diagram... the VW ones are so piss poor.

Only happens on FM radio... AM seems unaffected.

Faffed around with the aerial connectors... swapped them over... no difference.

Pulled the Parrot loom out... no difference.

Hi Rich,

Did you ever get to the bottom of this. I ask as a friend as exactly the same problem with his Jetta and i have completely drawn a blank!!
