Hi all,

My car's developed an issue with the DIS where in that it powers on with the ignition then will just go blank and then intermittently flicker on for 10 minutes until it returns permanently.

I've found this article http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/show ... een-fixed!

which seems to list the fault, has anyone had this before and know someone reputable that can fix it?

Thanks
Bal

Had a similar issue with a Q7 dash. After some research found the issue is the transformer that drives the back light for the display.

Thanks buddy I'll take a look when I get home, I assume this just needs to be soldered on?
