Aerial cable needed for my 80

JT80 · 27-06-11, 11:43 AM

Hi, I would like to get my electric aerial working on my 1987 80 and think that the cable has probably snapped as I can still hear the motor working but the aerial doesn't move. I understand that I may not be able to get this part new anymore from audi so thought I would put it out there to see if anyone might have one to sell.

Thanks.

From which model your aerial comes from, btw?

It's a 1987 B3 80 1.8S auto

No, I'm asking about your aerial

I dunno how cars without rear window antenna were supposed to receive radio, but I doubt there was any electrical antennas

I deleted aftermarket antenna from rear left wing of my A80 and installed rear window antenna [using wire placed around window because window lacked radio paths] - no need for ugly antennas and I wasn't listening radio anyway

Sorry,I didn't realise what you meant. I will have a look to see if I can find a make/model written on it. I found out today though from another forum member that it was fitted as standard as he remembers the car having it in 1990! So hopefully will be able to source a cable from somewhere. I will check the make and post it on.

I have added some pictures if you look in my album as unfortunately couldn't get them to work through this reply. When I peeled back the trim in the boot it revealed a B060 fully automatic maystar unit if that helps?
Let me know what you think.

this one is not an audi one so you could go to halfords and get an aerial
