[Mk2] [Turbo] Arial motor problem

Post by gozza91 »

Hi Guys,

Anyone ever had a problem with the arial motor on a MK 2 Rev 3? Mine is clicking quietly but the arial won't come up and it's really affecting the radio reception. I'm guessing it must be something to do with the motor mechanism as it sounds like it wants to work but that its worn out or something. I could but a new motor but thought I would check if anyone has had a problem like this before and whether its something simpler? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :thumleft:

Cheers!

It could be the inner toothed section of the aerial mast has snapped or the teeth on the drive gear have stripped. You'll need to remove the black cover to see what's going on inside, see here: http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2-know ... bartid=138
