My wife's 08 plate Octavia has an annoying issue. This happens once in a blue moon but is damn annoying. Radio CD (with additional 6CD unit) works fine for vast majority of the time but every so often it's playing happily (radio or cd) and sound goes completely. Change discs, radio channel etc but no joy - Head unit appears to work but no sound. Turn it off and on, no difference.

Stop the car, ignition off then back on and sound restored.

Went to the dealer when still under warranty and they could find no issue. Didn't do it again for months then same again - again nothing could be found.

Did it again yesterday towards the end of a long journey! Had no ICE for 90 mins till we reached some traffic lights and I could switch off and on again.

Anyone else come across this?

Radio doesn't have a name on it but is the standard equip on an 08 plate Ambient Combi!

Cheers

Mine's has also done this on my 05 octy vrs mk1 . I don't need to switch my ignition off . Just the headunit then it come's back but all the same sympton's as your's.

Did you find the problem or just lived with it? Wouldn't be so bad if we could just switch the unit off and on but has to be ignition with ours :(
