Aura Radio/CD/Changer niggles

[shaftoledoTDiSE]

Hi guys,

I bought a 99 Toledo TDi SE this Tuesday, great car but the Aura is behaving extremely bizarrely! Here is a brief description:

It's ok for a while (10 mins or so) playing CD's etc. Then it goes crazy. Sometimes it goes into RDS search, sometimes wrong functions are happening randomly when any buttons are pressed.

Sometimes no buttons work at all and it is stuck playing a CD for about ten minutes, then it audibly fast forwards or rewinds the disk at random!

Then it won't let you do anything until the power is down for a while. After which, all is well again for a few minutes, but only a few minutes.

Last night I took the fuse out, re-entered the code after an hour or so, and it worked fine. But this morning it went haywire again.

Has anyone heard of this kind of thing before and is there anything that can be done?

Thanks for any help.

PS. It's the cassette type head unit without steering column controls.

If you haven't got it sorted yet or already changed the unit This Fix is worth a try.
