yes Radio is the weak point. The sound deadening really helps, also gives the doors a more solid German feel.

3.0D4D Oil filter

Before putting the new filter back in next time, use a bit of oil applied with your fingers around the gasket of the filter. When you tighten, do not over tighten. Most often hand tight without over torque will do.
