What's even more annoying is that, when a glow plug gives up, you get a message reading "Service vehicle soon", so they charge you for a code read as well.

Yours should give a code in the cluster, this tells you what it is referring to..............VAG cars just directly message your bank details to the dealer and pre-authorise the payment  ;D ;D

Mine is the more basic information system, Mark, no codes.

No, just a single line on the dash, unlike the ones with three or four lines. I've looked online at models of that age and younger and there's a right mix of equipment on them. I guess some extras were specified and others were just chucked in at end of production.

Isn't that on the red pictogram display in the centre? Accessed via the  steering wheel controls iirc from my Insignificants :-\

Also, when I've looked at the trader, there are several with 'service vehicle soon' on the display in the speedo cluster. Most small dealers probably don't know that means you need at least one glow plug, or they do but won't replace them.

That's the one, Al, but my display is just one line. I'll find a pic if I can.

Mid level display, they fitted the highline to cars with NAV, adaptive lights, plus a few other features enabled it

Yep, so no codes for me, even though it's an elite. SRi got Bluetooth, mine got leather, heated seats, front and rear parking sensors and electric folding mirrors. Luck of the draw when buying second hand.

By the way...I don't actually need any glow plugs but, no doubt, I will after tempting fate on this thread.  :)

That's the same display as both Insignificants... One was an Exlusive Plus, second was an SRi, both preface lift.

Sure I saw messages with a 00xx code on one of them :-\

This one, top right?



That's the mid level display, much better than mine.

Nope, same as your first pic.

As an experiment, pop the bonnet and start the car. You should get a message saying the bonnet is open along with, in top corner, a four digit number ;)
