Can't find any mention of this in the owners manual for my mk2 1.8tdci. But occasionally, on start up hot or cold and after the engine has been running for about 10/15 seconds there is a high pitch tone lasts about 3 seconds. No warning lights on dash. Can't find what it's warning me about? And no, its not the rear parking sensors as i park nose in. Weird?

    I'm going to plug in a fault code reader tomorrow I think. Many thanks

    Have you tried the above as that will display DTC's (fault codes) too.

    Also useful as it tests all of the cluster led's in case one has been removed/blown which would otherwise indicate the fault.
