S10 diesel cold start issue

Having issues with my 2013 Chevrolet S10 diesel. It's got 96968 km on it. Rough engine running on cold starts, an error code, and higher fuel consumption than usual. Thinking it's the PTC heater. Anyone seen this?

Had something like that with my S10 a while back. Is the blower motor working properly? Check if the temperature control seems off, or if the electrical system seems to be acting strangely.

Blower motor seems fine, and the temperature control seems responsive, but I will double-check. What was the issue with your S10 when you had similar symptoms?

Turned out the electric auxiliary heater was defective. Caused similar symptoms. Worth getting it checked by a workshop, especially with the error code. Repair was around 350€ for me.

Appreciate the confirmation. I'll take it to a workshop to get the electric auxiliary heater checked. Hopefully, that resolves it. Thanks for sharing!
