Good morning all, we're a family of 5 and just got our T6.1 recently here in Germany - after a year of pandemic longing to drive out to nature - and so in our first night out - by trying different settings to get the heater started, I managed to set the auxiliary heater console in a funny state - the yellow heating light is permanently on and the display says: "Error: Auxiliary Heater" - I don't manage to reset this - tried resetting factory settings from the main console - this did not have any effect. Is there another obvious way to get this console reset - or is it best just to bring it to a VW garage?

It's really great to see so many tips on the Cali in these forums, looking forward to finding new ways to make the best of this car, cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

Did you use heat continuously or heat immediately.
I think the advice has been to set the time on heat immediately to 120mins and ensure you switch off before then.
Driving may reset, or pulling the fuse.

I think at one point I had pressed heat immediatelly - and as this didn't seem to produce a result I also pressed the continuously option - this is when at some point the console got stuck in error - driving didn't reset it though - I would pull the fuse - but how to identify which one it is?
