CD changer problems
« on: 01 August 2008, 14:37 »
So since I've had my car i've had problems with the CD changer or the magazine and I'm trying to work out what to replace. Changers going for about £55 on ebay at the moment. With magazines being approx £30 new.

Anyway when loaded up with CD's it takes a while and says on radio "checking magazine" when it comes to read the CD it says "CD error" which in the handbook says the CD is the wrong way up. I've tried both ways many times. It can define when there is not a CD in the slot though and says 'NO CD'. So do you think this points to a failure of the laser as it can't read the CD and relays the info that it's the wrong way inserted? I've tried original CD's and bcopys. We have had one song playing from the changer but can't get anything now.

It's a boot mounted genuine VW 6 disc changer.

Any ideas?

couldn't be bothered to spend over £100, been bidding on changers for last few weeks and they've been reaching £60ish. So well happy. Just hope it works now.  :smiley:

Leaves me more money for proper mods :afro:

I'm thinking maybe some coilovers to set it up for some wheels in the future. ALthough i still need to rid the wood trim but just waitng for bits to come up on ebay. Or even the W8 light but then id do need a remap! haha. May wait till payday before I buy the next thing. I also asked bout a show iscount on milltek stand at Motor Show but they aint got back to me.
