Audi A3 Sportback 2008 - Radio switching on / off intermittently on start - autoclassics

I had this experience, albeit with the Multimedia Screen/Sat Nav but which does include radio function, on my 1.6Tdi DSG Sportback. As it was under warranty I took it back to my Audi dealer in Hull who quickly diagnosed a duff connection from the ignition switch. They replaced it there and then ( so must keep them in stock!!) and no re-occurrence for the past year.

Hope this helps!

Chris
