My car does have an OBD2 port as i managed to run another diagnostic cable on the car to check some sensors.
Could you send me a link to the cable bud?
I have Vagcom but it wont load up.
I have installed it and using my OBD2 cable connecting it to the car but it just doesnt find it. Gives an error about my OBD2 port been invalid and there is no config file.
I have another program which I lets me connect the car but its showing no error...
Will check the colour of mine tonight when Im done at work but this looks promising. Its ******* me off lol
I will try find a cracked version of it hopefully :-)
Thanks lads
Any other ideas?

CHeers
Thanks lads.
Thats what i was thinking as in the Ibiza Sport TDI we had with the weather the light would stay on longer ect or shorter in summer.
Now its cold up here in Scotland and its on for just under a second so when you heat them 5 or so times it winds over for a couple of seconds...
