fog light symbol warning light

[vwwvgolf]

hello,  i noticed there is a symbol for the fogs in the clocks by the oil light, along the bottom.

 ive never seen it light up, should it light up when the fogs are on??
i know there is ones for glow plugs and other things that the car might or might not have but mine came with fogs from factory.

I asked this some time ago. Basically no
If you look hard enough there is also a light for the seat belt.

[vwwvgolf]

ha fair enough!

how come they are all there?? just to make it look like other golfs could have lots of cool functions that make fancy lights come on??

same dials used in other models, for example the seat ibiza has both the seat belt off light and low fuel light that works (they don't when connected top the golf though! I know the seat belt light stays on continuous!)

[vwwvgolf]

ahh i see,
how come the seat got more fancy stuff than the golf?? thought it would have been otherway around?
thanks for the info guys!

[boneybradley]

yeah it's an odd one.... I guess as the golf was a late 80's very early 90's design, when they got round to doing the Seat they added the latest bits in the design

(early mk3 clocks are different, to later models)

yeah i would love an empty tank light

It really should have been standard although mine would have burnt out by now.

I guess it was vw's accountants not letting them modify the mk3's wiring loom to add the low fuel light!!

If you take the clocks out and hold them up to the light you'll see a load of different sysmbols.
