Hi,
Recently replaced a 13½ year old E320 CDi estate (S211) with an E400d estate (S213).
Normally it would take > 10 minutes driving before the heater gave warm air.
It had an auxiliary heater (drip feed diesel) that came on automatically below 5º ambient.
The new vehicle does not have aux heater according to the manual.
Yet, yesterday (Sunday), on starting the vehicle, warm air came from the dash vents almost immediately (within 2-3 minutes of starting) - the outside temp was 9º.
Vehicle had been in an unheated garage since Friday at 19:00
Anyone else experienced this too please - or understand how?
Regards
