Indicator/button below fuel cap release?

[shaun.s]

Hello everybody,
Been searching the forum and haven't found a clear answer to this, so apologies if I'm reposting something that's already been covered.
I've just bought a Leon 1.6sx, 05 plate mk1, I haven't picked the car up yet but when I test drove it last night I noticed that there was a missing button/cover from an indicator (or possibly a button) near the handbrake below the fuel cap release.
From what I have read it appears it may be something to do with ESP/traction control, is this the case?
My concern is that the light was constantly illuminated (the headlights were on as it was dark,) and I wasn't able to push the button (if it is in fact a button and not just an indicator) as the plastic cap was missing.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on what the button/indicator is and how it should behave.
The dealer claimed that he'd try to get me one by the time I pick it up on Saturday but I'm concerned that this may be hiding some fault.
Cheers

It is the ESP button but not sure if the 1.6 has this i thought it was only on the cupra and above but as said not sure.

Cheers, I didn't think so either, although it's listed with ABS and Traction Control I thought ESP was separate and only present on the Cupra. Unless it's instead a button to turn traction control on/off.

esp was standard on the cupra R and an option on the facelift cupra. i have a 2004 cupra and the button is for the TCS. press button, dash warning light comes on, spinny spin spin... if you get my point

I have a prefacelift cupra and i have esp, it says so on the button

I have a prefacelift cupra and i have esp, it says so on the button

I've got a MY02 Cupra and pretty sure my button says TCS and not ESP

Cheers mate, that's really helpful of you- if the dealer doesn't find one for me (there's a similar car at the same dealer he might thieve it off but it's an S and I'm not sure if it has TCS,) I'll have a look at the scrappies or online with that part number.
