Peugeot 208 rough running when cold

Hi, I've got a problem with my 2012 Peugeot 208, diesel. It's got 190315 km on it. Engine runs rough when cold, error code is stored, and fuel consumption is up. Suspect the PTC heater. Anyone seen this?

Sounds familiar. I've got a 208 too. Same symptoms, though my mileage is lower. Was it throwing any specific fault codes related to the blower motor or HVAC system?

Yeah, error points to the electric auxiliary heater. Have you had the same?

Yep, auxiliary heater was the culprit. Probably the heating element's gone bad. I'd suggest getting it checked at the shop.

OK, thanks! Will do. They quoted around 350€, will get it repaired.
