Sail Auxiliary Heater Problem
Summary of the thread
A 2009 Chevrolet Sail owner experienced an issue with the auxiliary heater not working, accompanied by an error message. The problem was suspected to be related to the glow plugs, especially given the cold weather conditions. After taking the car to a workshop, it was confirmed that the glow plugs were indeed the cause, and the issue was resolved, restoring the heater's functionality.

No strange noises, and it has been pretty cold. I don't have the error code handy, but I read somewhere it might be the glow plugs. Could that be it?

Glow plugs are a likely culprit, especially with the cold weather and error message. They can cause the parking heater to fail. It's worth checking them, but honestly, you might be better off taking it to a workshop to get it diagnosed properly if you aren't familiar with working on them. It might save you time and potential headaches.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were right – turned out to be the glow plugs. Cost me 440€ to get it fixed. Runs perfectly now!

Hey, that's odd. I've heard of similar issues. Does the error code point to anything specific? Could be a number of things, maybe even just a fuse. Has it been particularly cold lately where you are? Also, do you hear any strange noises when you try to activate it?
