Hi all,
I've been doing a bit of research, and found nothing conclusive.
I recently bought a 1999 1.9tdi 110 Toledo. It runs fine, but I noticed that when I turn on the ignition, the engine light doesn't illuminate at all. This is the light in the middle row on the far right (5x3 grid). I found someone with a similar issue with a 150bhp Leon tdi, and they had the light replaced and it was always on i.e. the seller was hiding something.
However, in the manual the Diagnostics light is given an asterisk, meaning 'not available on all models'. I also watched a few videos of Toledos starting, and many of them don't have the engine light come on when the ignition is switched on. An example is this one: youtube.com/watch?v=BUo5kLHFv6Y
There's several others too, and I can't imagine they've all had the bulb blanked off. Nonetheless, is there any way I can check the car isn't hiding a fault?
