This must be country specific as its not part of the standard specifications or on the options list for the UK.

 

Where are you from?

[GaSelle]

Agreed. In Denmark it´s an option. An expensive one.

Although very welcome in the Winter temperatures that Scandinavia and parts of Europe reach I would guess. 

 

The UK in the main doesn't suffer too badly with the exception of some parts in the North of the country.

If this option was on the S3 i would of ordered it.

[FelisBengalensis]

I had it in a X5 and it was a great system. UK price on my X6 was £1,200 in 2010 so it became a less than priority add on.

I might have specced it had it been available on the S3 although so far this Winter has been very mild. Even winter rubber hasn't seen much real need - well down here in the south it hasn't.

[GaSelle]

Over here it´s £1600 for a factory fit - aftermarket, but function as factory fit is £900.

Standard in the L&K in Sweden one of the main resons why I went for the model. One remote but working same hours everyday I use the time setting function.

Nice to have but expensive, I have early starts for work so heated screen was very important now no lines in the screen, think it would be essential for Norway and Sweden

What engine do you have?

Could you please check if it is able to start automatically when the engine is cold? Or do you have to program /turn it on manually?

Thanks

On the Octavia it can be set to start automatically when the engine is cold. Its a setting for it in the infotainment.

what the difference between the old and new one? 

And what is the description of your fuse no 7? I have to fuses in my SuperB which says something about aux heating and dont know which one to take out...

[StewartM]

Can anyone tell me if UK Spec Diesels have the electric PTC Heater fitted. I remember a lot of discussion a while ago suggesting they didn't even though the equivalent VWs and Audis did.

Not offered even as an option. Probably a VAG imposed restriction to maintain price point, and to force buyers into their other models if they want one - same as LED headlights.

Thanks for that confirmation.

Fantastic piece of kit that webasto. With a newborn baby in the family, the ability to have a warmed up car when you leave the house is highly valued. -10 degrees the other morning, car covered in frost and the windows iced down - a press of the button from inside the house, wait 30 minutes and the car has melted. Quite cool. After getting my first car with a webasto, i do notice the humming of other cars with the same humming away in the neighborhood. Not great for the environment i guess, but having a heated engine also contributes to the engine reaching optimum working temperature quicker, so may not be so bad after all...

Haa, you think that's bad, I'm over working in Canada (Alberta) and the standard practice in cold weather 0°C or less is the start your engine remotely and leave running for 15min before getting in.

When that engine is a 6.7ltr V8 Powerstroke pickup, you could run 40 Webasco heaters for hours on the gallons drunk by that one engine alone. When you have car park of 50+ cars/pickups/trucks and vans (straight/V6 in most cars,big V8 everything else) running for 15 mins each it's a shameful waste, but with none of these wee heaters even an option except on posh motory they do as they always have. At approx 36p a litre they can afford too as well.

All I will say is that getting into a warm car is preferable to planting sitting your butt in a -40°C leather seat. Very welcome indeed.

In Belgium (same climate as UK though) it's a 965 euro option (750 pound). So I guess we get it pretty cheap although nobody I know actually has this option checked on any car.
