Yes, the climate control seems fine, and the heating time is normal. It's just the auxiliary heater. Did your car have the same symptoms?

Yep, exact same symptoms. Honestly, it sounds like a defective glow plug. I tried a few things myself but in the end, I took mine to a workshop, and they sorted it out quick.

Thanks for the input. Took it to the shop and you were spot on. The glow plug was defective and had to be replaced. The repair cost was 440€. Thanks for your advice.

Interesting, I had a similar issue with my Tipo. Is the climate control otherwise working okay? Does it take a long time for the car to heat up in general because I had that problem too!
