I recently acquired a 1996 850 T5 Estate. The radio often doesn't seem to be able to pick up any stations on the FM band, for about 5 minutes after I've switched on the car, then all of a sudden it works fine. Anybody got any ideas?
Bad solder-joint in the radio, expands as it heats up, then gets connected?
I think you hit the nail on the head... This problem happened on our 93
960... It got worse, and now the FM doesn't work at all... I think it's going to be one of those spring projects, along with getting the right hand parking light working on my dad's old Golf. I think my car is the only one that is perfect (right now... knock on wood). I also need to fix the door ajar switch for the dome light... More bad solder or contacts most likely.
I believe if you use a'55 Champion spring with one coil cut off, it will help
Hey Ant...you're here too, huh? I am now that I've got an 850.
