    @oldstan thank you I'll check that asap. I left the Yeti to a garage today, they will check tomorrow several things which the dealer has agreed to pay. One thing worth noting was that today when I literally floored it down the motorway ramp I briefly got warm air and it faded to cold when I reached steady speed and lower rpm. @Expatman I'm pretty sure my gauge actually works normal too, I'm just focused on staying on the road.

    That is hard to say. It apparently works similar to my A4: first the gauge doesn't seem to move at all. Then there is a slight movement and when you check it next, it points to 90. At that point you have no idea how long it took The difference is A4 is pushing warm air after few km and I can take my gloves off.

    reading this makes me already smarter than I look. Or something. Technically I knew that, it just doesn't translate into real life I visited my parents today. Outside temp +1C and during about 15km drive 110kph oil temp reached 79C. Another 5km slower roads it got up to 81 before I reached my destination. Heater temp was set to 22C and auto, I am not certain if the ac button was on or off.

    Yes it does. Slowly, but it gets there. Analog gauge shows about 90, digital was 85C. I need to check that more often while commuting next week, last week I was more interested in fuel consumption figures. My commute is 55km/45min each way and most of it is 80/100kph roads. I only got actually warm air once I got closer to my home and under 40kph. I know that "modern diesels do not get hot in winter", I just need to know if this much cold is normal or do I need to complain to the seller Unfortunately original owner did not check webasto for this, as it would heat during driving also. Now I'm thinking if a Binar 5s or similar would be wise aftermarket purchase, it does the same but is cheaper.

    Hello there I traded my T5 4motion to a 2010 TDI 170 4x4 Yeti last week. Wonderful little thing This is Experience trim (top spec in Finland back then) - no idea if that name was used anywhere else. For me the important things were parking sensors, multifunction streering wheel, automatic AC and xenon headlights. There are few quirks or features however... First off, Until friday I had no warm air coming in while driving. Temperature on friday was finally +2C and when I slowed down to 40kph I got some warm air. AC on Auto, it defaults to +22C and blows cold air. If I put both sides to MAX, I get some warm-ish air. Is this normal below freezing temperatures? This is on 80+ kph speeds. Second, I'd like to replace the standard radio (no bt) and I'm fine with an android headunit. Is there something that I should definitely know before doing it. I will probably let a professional do it, I'm good at taking things apart but not so much putting them back together. Third. Since I resemble a gorilla (short legs, long back) and have arms of a t-rex, my right knee rests heavily on center console and the arm rest is way too low. I have been thinking about a small padding that I could cover with faux leather and glue on the side of the center console. Since the console is black already it should not be really visible. For the arm rest, the gap between my elbow and the arm rest in top position is like 4-5cm at least. I've grown to like the arm rest in my previous A4 and A6 cars, especially since my commute is now about one hour each direction. Last (for now) I'd really like some extra light for high beams. My brother has an extra led bar and I was wondering if someone has seen or made a roof rack/basket and light install? A single light bar has been road legal here in Finland for a few years now, so that part is fine. I'm taking the car to a garage next week, dealer who sold the car is paying to check the heating issue and actually the front tires were worn out so I might score couple replacements for free. Windshield is also cracked and the left rear light cluster for some reason is misaligned, which has caused paint to chip off in the rear hatch. All those will be fixed for free also. I hope I'll get them fixed before he realizes what a p.o.s the T5 was...
