Have been hearing a crackling noise from the speaker (tweeter) on the passenger side A pillar recently.

It usually is present for the first 10-15 min in the mornings (not all days) when I play the CDs. Then it does not occur all day. I am not able to replicate it on other times and hence don't know what to tell the dealer.

Has anyone had a similar problem? Do you think there is a loose wire? Can the car's temperature have anything to do with it?

Thanks in advance!

Finally took the car to the dealer....
They had a look and are going to replace the speaker. Hope that solves the problem.
Full marks to the Lloyd dealer here in Carlisle. Very courteous, helpful and understand
that the little niggles can spoil the experience of having a new car.

Just an update....

Speaker replaced by the dealer - problem still persists
It is there for the first 10-15 min of using the CD player (not with radio) then completely cures itself all day.
Have tried different CDs, Mp3s - no change. The crackling sound is completely random ie doesn't occur at a fixed point in the track. Dealer is not sure what is causing the problem, suggests they may replace the audio unit for me in Jan.

Has anybody had a similar problem with FL2 or other cars?

Will suggest to the dealer to check the amplifier.
