Hi,
I'm still getting used to my 2 year old Beach and this will no doubt be the first of many questions.... For the life of me I can't figure out what kind of parking heater I have. The build-to-order options on the VW site are confusing as is the contradictory information that I've read elsewhere.
I have a control panel above the rear-view mirror where I can turn a heater on when the ignition is off. I can set this to be on for a number of minutes (15-20-35-40 etc) and also set the heat power. I get heat out of the vents even when the engine is stone cold and can smell some exhaust fumes on the outside of the van, although not coming from the main engine exhaust. Going further into the settings on the panel (by holding down a button) I seem to be able to schedule heat by date / time although I haven't tried this.
So it looks like I have the fully-fledged parking heater - but without a remote control fob thing. I've struggled to find any mention of this particular spec anywhere online so it's making me question the type of heater that I actually have. Can anyone shed some light?
