I have an Audi A6 2.5 TDi Avant Estate, and a couple of weeks ago I
noticed that the trip computer display had gone off. I pressed the
test button, and all the lights came on in test mode so I know the
display works, but can anyone tell me how I might have turned the
display off, and therefore how to turn it back on again?
Cheers,
Ed

Possibly by briefly pressing the button on the underside of the right
stalk. Press it gain once and briefly and it should come up again.

You have to physicly hold the button in for quite a while to turn it off
and vice versa to turn on

Hmm.. On My A6 your method would _reset_ the computer. I.e. Time,
consumption et al. A short press would switch the display on and off.
