Captur auxiliary heater malfunction

Hey, I've got a 2022 Renault Captur Hybrid with 127558 km. The parking heater won't activate, and the diagnostic system shows an error in the auxiliary heating system. Fuses and coolant are fine. Any ideas? I'm thinking it might be the glow plug.

I had a similar issue with my Captur. Sounds almost identical. Did you notice if your climate control was acting up before the heater died? Like, weird ventilation or delayed heating?

That's interesting! Now that you mention it, the ventilation system was a tad sluggish in the mornings. Heating seemed normal once it kicked in, though. What caused your issue?

Sounds very similar to what I experienced. The issue turned out to be a defective glow plug in the auxiliary heater. It's a pain to diagnose without the proper equipment. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They confirmed the glow plug issue and quoted me around 440€ for the repair.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like my situation is mirroring yours. Given your insights, a trip to the workshop is the best idea. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Wish me luck!
