Seat Ateca Parking Heater Problem
Summary of the thread
The Seat Ateca's parking heater issue is likely due to a faulty glow plug, as indicated by an error in the memory. Initial checks, such as fuses and coolant leaks, were ruled out. The problem was confirmed by another individual who experienced similar symptoms and error messages. The recommended solution is to have the glow plug replaced at a workshop, which resolved the issue.

Coolant leak is a no go, checked that already. I read out the error memory and it points towards the glow plug for the aux heater. When you had the issue, did you get the exact same symptoms? Did you also have an error stored?

Yep, exact same symptoms, same error message about the glow plug. Honestly, unless you have the right tools, I'd suggest just taking it to a workshop. It can be a pain to get to, and you need to make sure you're not going to mess anything else up with the climate control.

Right, thanks for the confirmation. Took it to the workshop, glow plug was indeed faulty. 440€ later, the auxiliary heating is working again. Appreciate the help.

Sounds like a glow plug issue. I had the same problem with my Ateca’s parking heater. Does the error code point to that specifically? Though it could also potentially be something with the climate control module itself. Have you checked for any coolant leaks near the heater core? That can mess things up too.
