Hello all,
so my problem just started after I bought my 2013 A3 2 months ago and changed the timing belt and everything that should be changed after 200k if you bought a used car.
The heating just went dead. Even after 20 mins of driving i had to run it 3000+ if i wanted some heat and that is absolutely wrong, so i went back to the service.
they changed both thermostat, water pump, cleaned the heater matrix with some special cleaner and they said it should be fine now. It is definitely better but even after the water reached 90 the air on the left side is warm but not hot even on Hi, and the right side is much cooler than the left. And if i just stop driving but let the engine run, the air is getting cooler and cooler. In addition to this, start-stop isnt working while heating is on. If i turn it off it works.
outside temp is around 0 celsius.
there is no faulty code from vcds.
any idea?
