Heat pump being used or not?
I havent checked this myself but would have thought that standing outside the car, maybe bonnet up, you would hear the compressor and or condensing fan when its running. Just make sure you set a temperature that will bring it on.
It may too quiet to hear inside the car with the fan running.
Im not aware of any indication running light.

Presumably it has a sensor (like everything else in the car) so it would tell you if it's not working, but there's no visual indicator in the car when it is working.
I asked this question of my dealer after having had my car for a few days and not finding anything about it in the manual. He said it was automatic operation. Don't know about a 'not working' indicator. I read somewhere that the eNero draws about 1.75 kW with a heat pump and 5.5 kW with conventional heating. Perhaps that would be an indicator of whether it's working or not.

I also think that is correct. It must have a feedback control.

There is a yellow sticker under the bonnet, the codes on the sticker for a heat pump is different to the regular non-pump heating system.
I don’t know the codes as I don’t have a pump.
Look under the bonnet for a yellow sticker near the front. If you have a heat pump fitted the refrigerant will be R744 (CO2). If not then the refrigerant for the standard A/C is R1234yf.

Is that correct? Is there some better manual that tells us what is reported via the infotainment system?
You're expecting a list of all the possible error warnings to be published? Well that would make sense I suppose but given that VW dealers clearly have no access to one, I doubt it exists.
This is my first foray into dealing with VW dealers and so far, I'm not that impressed. I wouldn't say they are worse than any other car stealer but I hoped for better after the Diesel debacle.
I haven't seen anyone ever show a "heat pump not working" screenshot.
I would be very surprised if a fault with one was not shown given all the stuff that is shown.
You might get this pop up on the display behind the steering wheel:

You might also get a "report" shown on the infotainment system.
