Where is the check engine light on the Dash?

Hey All,

Went to look at a MK4 the other day but couldnt for the life of me work out which light is the check engine light. Can anyone tell me if its lit up in this picture or where I should have been looking?

Cheers

Turn the key off, then back on again. It'll appear for a few seconds before going out.

Yes I'm Aware of that. Im just not sure what Icon represents the check Engine light.

from the left;
airbag, immobiliser, temp, brake pad wear indicator, fuel, oil level, screen washer level, ABS, Handbrake on, battery, drivers seat belt not on.

check engine light is not one of those lit in your pic

Engine warning light looks like an engine shaped icon with an exclamation mark, and is red. Cant remember which dial it shows up in, think it is the centre...

I took it for a test drive and it felt fine. I could have been to slow on the photo and missed it. When I was looking at the manual it seemed to indicate that that icon was something to do with the exhaust system :|

you may find that any errant fault, even temporary, that is from any one of a range of sensors attached to the engine, may cause the light to come on...

My concern is more that the engine light isnt there and the light has been removed to hide the fact there is a engine error.
