The extra plugs are for the heated seat switches, rear sunblind, cruise control.

If you fitted the heated seats and sunblind it would just require the switch to

make them work.

Lucky you having the wires in place already

If i recall, the green is the sun blind, the one marked 'right hand' is your heated seats (there will be a 'left hand' as well) I'm not certain what the third one is, I've got heated seats, rear blind, but no cruise fitted (pity) and I still have a spare plug. I know it's not the cruise as it wont fit a cruise switch I've got. So it's either traction control (on a 2003 diesel!!??) or ..................something else!!!!??? Either way you are lucky, straight plug'n play really.

Traction Control was available on any diesel model from the begining to the

end of production.

Here is a picture of mine.

And John Dot Com has traction control fitted to his facelift tourer diesel.

Ah, so does that mean I could add traction control to mine quite easily? Has anyone done it, and is it simply find the control box plug all together and bingo? I hear T4 being mentioned
