Not a feature on my UK clubsport. Checked in the car, and couldn’t find anything to enable it either
i also checked my car and didn't find anywhere to enable it. i think it is only available on the WE CONNECT APP

It's not available on my UK ClubSport, either.  Doesn't show in the app.

It's a bit of a mystery.  Why do some people have it in the app when others don't?

I do have it in the app but I haven't tried it yet.  I hope it will turn on the heating or the air con to get the car to a set temperature.  As I'm in the UK the heating is more important and I could easily live without the air con.   I've had hybrid cars recently that would heat or cool the interior to a comfortable temperature (which was somehow determined by the car - probably just set to 20-22 degrees at the factory) and I am hoping the Clubsport will do that.

I will give it a try and let you what happens.

So, I asked around in Germany it turns out that clubsport owners don’t have the Auxiliary ventilation on there we-connect  App because they don’t have 3 zone climate system standard on Clubsport in Germany.

My guess it is any GTi equipped with 3 zone climate get it and cars without 3 zone climate don’t have this feature.

It does work. It keeps the car cool or warm based on the preset temperature in the car already. It’s does a 10 minutes count down and your can also set it up when you want it to cool or warm the car

Just tried it on my app. The option is there but it doesn't work - just get this irritating message after the option is selected.   Another thing to talk to the dealer about.....


Don't ask about the car name.... not my choice!
