heating

[SteveS]

During this cold weather, i have been using the heating in the car. no surprise there... however mine seems to take quite a while to warm up, seems to take too long...
Anyone else think theirs takes a long time or is it just me???

Tend not to crank the heater up until the car is warm. Usually takes about 10mins

Yeah I don't bother with the heating until the car engine temp is up to optimal. Until then, I use the heated seats.

Of course, in my old car, there was no such thing as heated seats, so I sat and drove in the m-f-ing cold until the car was warmed up and I'd put the heating on full blast.

i have to drive for like 15-20mins before it even gets warm, the heated seats are nice, but im still freezing!

sounds along time, any error codes coming up on your dash?

[SteveS]

nope, no lights.

Mine takes just under ten minutes to warm up!

[dan_apps]

nope, no lights.

i would get the dealers to check it out then, something small but is the coolant you use the VW recomended type? that could be an issue, not sure 

[SteveS]

erm, i havnt changed any coolant?

extra vest mate needed!! 

Does the car warm up to 90 degree's withing 5 minutes road running time??? if it doesnt maybe engine thermostat, but that would normally give you sh!te mpg and you would know about that in the pocket. Mine takes about 5 minutes to get heat inside at a good temp.
