Peugeot 508 Auxiliary Heater Malfunction

My 2020 Peugeot 508 diesel with 120686 km has a malfunctioning auxiliary heater. The parking heater can't be activated, and there's an error stored. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my old BMW 3 Series. Parking heater problems can be a pain. Have you checked the glow plugs? They're often the culprit.

Thank you for the suggestion. Could you elaborate on why the glow plugs are likely the issue?

Well, in my case, a defective glow plug meant the heater couldn't ignite properly, hence the error. I'd suggest getting it checked by a workshop; it might save you a lot of headache. It’s worth checking the heating system and the heater core as well.

Thank you for the advice. A diagnostic check at the workshop confirmed a defective glow plug. Repair cost 440€.
