fellow wagon/avant owners: antenna problem?

[dkpriebe at attbi.com]

I was also suffering from this same problem. It was due to a failure of the
amplifier on the antenna. A replacement for just this amp can be sourced from
antennaworld.com. I replaced the entire mast, mount and amp on mine last fall.
It was a fairly simple procedure. The Bently is pretty clear on how to do it.
The only important thing to note is that the stock antenna mount, where it
enters the car, is square. The replacement mount is circular. I used a liberal
amount of silcone to ensure that it doesn't leak.
