MDI Not working

[BANKIE BOB]

I was stopped at traffic lights last week and suddenly the read out in the centre of the dash stopped working, i have had a diagnostic check done by a reputable Audi specialist and they said the info is still there but there is no link between ECU and dash.

They want £570 to replace the unit, this check cost me nothing, i decided to phone Skoda Dealer to get them to check they want £75 just to check and god knows how much to repair.

Has anyone heard of this happening before and know anywhere in the west of Scotland that would repair this.

Do you mean the maxidot/trip computer display? MDI is the device for connecting iPod etc to the headunit. Is the car still in warranty?

Got it wrong it is the MAXI DOT. It's 7 mths out of warrenty.

Of only short time out of warranty like that it may be worth asking skoda for a contribution to the repair cost!
