VAG car after heater installation?

[Soap]

I have installed an Eberspacher B5W heater in my car.

There is an option in VAG-com to enable aux.heater, but do I need to do this?,

I suspect that this feature is only if you have a diesel engine with OEM heater installed?

No, the options in the control modules only apply for OEM retrofits. In your case, stick with the Eberpächer installation instructions, then you should be good to go.

Ok thanx.

next question:

The hetaer seems to heat up the the air inside the car better if I set the the climate control to blow the air from the center consol.

When the heater starts the climate control unit it always selects "auto" and the air mainly comes from the outlets benieth the windshield.

Is there a way to get reprogram this? I want the air to come out from the center consol.

when I bought the car there was a heater installed, but it worked VERY poorly, and after lot of $ spent and no result, I came across a brand new heater at Ebay.

After the replacement I got better efficiensy, (the old one even sounded like it didn´t work properly)

But I still think that the hetaer does not doing the job properly.

When it´s 0 degrees © outside and the heater runs for 40 minutes its still not the nice "hot" air inside, it´s just "warm"

The temp-guage is hardly moving at all when I turn the ignition key after 40 minutes. (if I set the climate control temperature at a lower value I get a bigger reading on the guage)

A friend of mine had a 4kw heater installed (Volvo V70 TDi) and he almost got a sauna, and a warm engine after 40 minutes.

The heater is a 5kW - fitted in an Audi S4 (B6 V8)
