Palisade cold start PTC heater issue

Experiencing poor engine running during cold starts, an error message, and increased fuel consumption with my 2019 Hyundai Palisade diesel at just 22823 km. Could the electric auxiliary heater be faulty?

Summary of the thread

A 2019 Hyundai Palisade diesel is experiencing poor engine performance during cold starts, an error message, and increased fuel consumption. The issue may be linked to a faulty electric auxiliary heater, specifically the PTC heater, as indicated by colder-than-usual air from the climate control system. It is suggested to have a professional diagnosis to confirm the fault and proceed with necessary repairs.

I also own a Hyundai Palisade. Your symptoms sound familiar. I had similar issues: cold air blowing from the HVAC system initially, especially on chilly mornings. Eventually, there was a stored error code related to the heating element. Is the air from your climate control system colder than usual upon startup?

Yes, precisely! The air is noticeably colder than it should be when the engine is cold. It takes a while for the cabin to reach a comfortable temperature. Considering the error code and higher fuel consumption, do you think it is indeed the PTC heater?

Given your description and my past experience, it certainly sounds like a defective PTC heater is the culprit. I strongly recommend having a workshop diagnose the electrical fault properly. I ended up spending around 350€ to resolve the heating issue.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll schedule an appointment with a trusted repair shop for a diagnosis and repair. I appreciate your time and assistance.
