I've definitely got a leak on fuse #42 as so many others have with resultant starting issues with the TDI, especially cold weather, but I've not seen anyone really say what the resolution was. I've got the basic, junk non-Monsoon, awful sounding factory unit with trunk CD changer. I removed the changer awhile ago which reduced the current loss somewhat. Is it typically a defect in the radio itself that replacing will fix, or is there usually something on that circuit, or what? I've also seen suggestions of the antenna amp being permanently on too. I've not pulled everything out yet, but was hoping to get a clue ahead of time. I'd happily stick an aftermarket unit in, since you can get one with modern features for <$100.
