What is the proper aerial on a MK5 2006 R32?
« on: 17 January 2016, 10:36 »
My brothers car has no aerial & it's started leaking & he's wondering if it's somehow getting in there & running down to the windscreen.

Whether this is the case or not, he'll be needing one. If not just so it doesn't look stupid.

I had a quick google but just see all manner of aerials and i suspect aftermarket ones - shark fin, stubby etc.

What is the official aerial that the car came with though?

Nope. I don't think so at least anyway. I'll double check but i'm pretty sure he doesn't

Is it just the antenna bit he is missing or the base as well. Is there a bit left on the roof or just a square whole.

I'll get you a photo tomorrow.

He has the sourrround bit. It's missing the antenna, but as for what is left in the middle of that surround i'm not 100% sure.

I'll come back tomorrow with a photo.
