Had this on the Leon, and the ear-splitting, WW3-is-imminent alarm isn't a feature you really miss......

Yes, it should have a yellow warning light, mine has one.  (06 MkV no-winter pack.)

I have Highline Computer and Winter Pack - definitely got the warning light.

Checked my 2006 brochure and specification booklet and the only mention of it is in the Winter Pack option.

Current VW Golf Options list still clearly lists the warning light as part of the Winter Pack:

I didn't have the winter pack on my MK4. But a warning light still came up and warned me that the washers were low.
