Just bought a 2003 A3 2.0 TDI but I'm having a strange issue with the DIS. When I bought the car all was working fine on the DIS displaying radio, MPG etc - however when I got home it was completely switched off, tried pressing the reset button on the stalk but nothing happened.

Since then I disconnected the battery to reset everything and that did the trick, but the problem keeps occurring.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or if there's any fixes for it?

Cheers
 
First thing I would do is to run a VCDS scan to see if there are any fault codes being reported. Sounds like there may be a fault on the CANbus, or the CPU, or some other electronic controller. Fortunately, the DIS is easy to pull out, so you can check that the connecting plug is properly seated. Good luck.
 
Decided to turn off again today, so I disconnected the clocks then plugged them back in and it's working again? I did however find my battery to be very weak this morning and think it's losing charge - could this possibly be the problem?

Am having the same issue with a car i just bought. wondering if this is the same car. I scanned it and the following codes came up. I reckon the cluster is defective and may need to be repaired or replaced.
