Hi there,
I am new to this forum and have found many previous threads incredibly useful in learning about the Auxiliary heater and how to go about troubleshooting it, however I don't think I have found a thread describing the exact problem we are running into, so was hoping some of the very knowledgable people here could help us and any others that might be experiencing something similar! We would be incredibly grateful for any advice.
We have a 2021 T6.1 Ocean California TDI S-A which we bought from my parents, who purchased it new from Volkswagen and like a lot of other people we are now having problems with our Auxiliary heater.
We are having a similar problem to other users in that when we try to use the Heat continuously mode, it will cycle through the Please Wait loading screen and then the heater light turns off, with no apparent signs or sounds of the heater trying to turn on.
When we try to use the Heat Immediately mode, it will turn on the heater light then cycle through the please wait screen on and off until to you turn off the Heat Immediately mode, which you can manage to do between "Please Wait" screens if you are quick!
We also get the Error: Auxilliary Heater when we try and access the Operating mode or settings page.
As you can tell we are kind of getting a strange combination of errors other people seem to be experiencing.
We are unsure exactly when this issue started for us, but we did have a period of time where the van was being stored at another location due to expensive insurance and experienced a few flat batteries when we would go to start it. This resulted in us getting Solar Panels fitted to the van which charge both the leisure batteries and the starter battery. This was done by a small business that works specifically on VW Californias. So we are wondering if this could be related as we have read some information on low batteries triggering some issues!
Again, we would really appreciate any advice on how to try and troubleshoot this.
Thank you in advance and hope you all have a good weekend staying dry from the storm!
