I'm not sure if this is public knowledge but i found out today that the above car has got an electric heater aswell as coolant heater. From 'research' on the net today there is a 1kw ceramic heater moulded into the dash.
For those of you who are thinking wow how do you get that to work then this is for 'S' spec car with climatic control
set the heat range to 26 degrees (some say 90% of range others 50%)
press the econ button so that the led is OFF
Turn the fan to whatever speed you want, maybe be better off with 1 first off to see that it is working and off you go.
I have owned 2 mk5 golfs over 4 years and this is the first i know of the electric heater so might be new to alot of peole but then again maybe not??
Might be best trying the above to a cold car that has been sat overnight as you are not going to know if it is working or not if the engine is already warm. Wish i had known about this during the winter!!!
For those of you who own petrol mk5 golfs i'm sorry but the electric heater is only installed in the diesel range of golfs.
For those of you who have got auto climate control the function i imagine is there but i'm not sure how you would go about getting it working.
Hope it helps someone??
