Have you physically checked ALL the indicator bulbs are working - the front, the rear, and those in the door mirrors?

It's not the external ones that Tara is questioning it's the 2 green arrow symbols on the dash that doesn't work when she's put the indicator stalk up or down.

Well that's what i think she's asking!!

Yesssss - I know what Tara was asking. :P  The point I'm trying to establish is that if one of the three exterior bulbs is blown, then the interior dash warning light won't illuminate. :innocent:

Theoretically, you should (but only for the front and rear, not the mirror ones).  But somebody might have fiddled with the cold lamp diagnosis settings in VCDS - disabling them.  Just a thought! :wink:
