Mine was similarly slow. I began to think it was faulty but then I grew a brain Rolling Eyes It makes sense it would struggle as the outside air needing to be heated was -13C by the time I got to work. I'm sure Puma heating is much better than on older models but I shouldn't expect miracles... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

for sure! this was the third times for me in Chile (2001, 2005 & 2012). Unfortunately this time I had no time for tourism, but I really love this country. BTW the social dinner at the congress was a Chilean BBQ with a good quantity of Pisco Sour Razz

I've certainly noticed the difference from V8 to TD5.

My V8 used to warm up fully in about 5 minutes. Ran hot in traffic but on very cold days cooled down too much on the open road with cold air passing through the rad and over the engine, and so sometimes the heater just didn't stay warm enough until I got back into traffic.

On the TD5 takes about 15 minutes to me getting reasonably warm air setting off from home in the morning, not much traffic and doing 30mph+. Sitting in traffic from standing cold (like in centre of York when leaving work) it is taking 20-25 minutes. It gets warm very quickly once I hit the open road and then stays toasty.

So things have swapped around for me.

Mind you, I have better things to spend my money on than a remote additional heater. A coat and a pair of gloves is cheaper!

I'm still looking for a steering wheel heater - the rest of me can freeze Thumbs Up

Minus 14 in my neck of the woods today. Glad to have the ThermoTop P, otherwise a good ten-fifteen minutes of driving before any warmth to speak of start to flow

Minus -13 this morning, reaching a maximum of -9 this afternoon. Forecast of -15 tonight. Wind-chill will take that down to effectively -23 or so!

TDCi Nice and cosy within about 2 kms of home, or about 3 minutes. It did take about 10 mins to get full thermonuclear blast heat roasting my right leg (whilst the left leg froze bien sur). After a series II it is nice not to have to wear 4 or5 layers just to drive the car (whilst trying to convince myself that ice on the inside of the windscreen from my breath is normal)

However, the person that invented heated seats and front windscreen deserves a medal.

Sounds just like here in Munich - same latitude? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
