Radio interference

When I put the heated window on the radio drops in volume and also crackles.

I had this on a ford sierra that used the window element as an aerial, and had to replace the aerial amp.

could this be the same ?
if so location of amp ?

I will update you when I find the fault, I have not checked if the heated rear screen is working (the car is new to me)

I will check that first in case the element is at fault

Interesting! My rear wiper is starting to play-up and I get radio interference when it is stuck at half-way. At least it is giving me a warning to make sure it goes back to rest, rather than leaving it to overheat. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

When you put the boot side/s trim panel back on, there is one panel clip sort of by itself in the middle. Make sure this one lines up & clips into its hole otherwise it will squeak & forever be irritating. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Hi there.

I have a similar problem - did you ever track down the cause? Only evident now in the cold mornings..... Ian.

Yes I suspect a cut filament on the rear window. When I activate the rear window heater, there is a place that remains with some fog.

On my previous MY10 XS the rear screen heater always caused radio interference - it was one or the other, a perfect de-mist and no radio or radio and no de-mist. Happily, the heated mirrors did the job so the rear screen heater was rarely used.

I've noticed that the lowest filament seems to be discoloured which may be causing a high resistance. Possibly repair paint may fix it. Ian.
