Thanks, I can scan it, but I'm not sure about the specific error codes for the auxiliary heater. Could you give me more details about the codes you saw, or any tests you did to confirm the glow plug?

I don't recall the exact code, but VIDA's pinpoint test led me to the glow plug circuit. Given your symptoms, I'd get it professionally diagnosed. Replacing the glow plug fixed it. Cost about 440€. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks for the help. I'll book an appointment with my local workshop for a diagnosis and glow plug replacement if needed. Appreciate the guidance!

I had similar auxiliary heater issues with my S60. VIDA/DICE showed a glow plug problem. Did you scan for error codes related to the heating system? Sharing the codes would help.
