Check the General car chat thread as this seems to be infectious !

I noticed mine did this a couple of days ago after I'd been hooning it around an empty car park in the snow.

It stayed on until I turned the engine off then it went out again next time I started it up.

I guess it may just be a combination of the damp and cold.

Vag com is the way to go but as I haven't got one I guess I'll just consider myself lucky that mine cured it's self.

Try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes this may clear it.
Make sure You have Your radio code though or when You reconnect the battery You may have trouble getting everything working again.
