Also the diesel are difficult to get up to temp are they not, which is why you need the webasto.

Could there be issues with it?

Webasto is only needed when the temperature drops to below about 10-7*C, even without The webasto it should reach optimum temp within 5-10 minutes of careful town driving in the freezing cold, once up to temp it should also stay there, if it isn't then there is a problem somewhere, the webasto's are 5Kw iirc so throw some heat out and heat the car up remarkably quickly.





Shame there isn't a secret menu for engine temps on the MMI well not that I'm aware of anyway, all the temp fluctuation will be is either a sender or a thermostat, you will probably have one on the EGR which may be the inline stat that's been mentioned and a main, either way it should be pretty painless to sort out.

edit: after looking at snapdragons post it looks like there's probably 3 then
