Think the heater kicked in this morning - outside temp was about 4degrees so set heater to 29degrees and within a minute or so warmish air was blowing out of the vents.

The best thing to do with the temperature setting is to leave it alone and just run with the same temperature setting (perhaps increasing it a degree or two in winter time)
Increasing it on start up and then decreasing it again when it is warm doesn't actua;l;y make a difference.
The system ill not start pushing out air in any volume until the water temperature has risen sufficiently. The reason is that there is no point in circulating cold air!
So if you leave it at your normal setting, the system will start pushing out warm air when it can regardless of the setting (if you have set a "normal" temperature.
This is one of the reasons why the soft touch buttons wear so rapidly.
I can honestly say that I only change the temperature twice a year, once in winter t up the overall temperature a couple of degrees and then once again in summer to revert back.
I can see why people want to get warm air as son as possible, but the car is quite clever andwon't blow out cold air unless you manually set it to do so (such as the front screen defrost).
I am not saying that there is a right or wrong way, I am merly suggesting that constantly changing the temperature up and then down every day may well be having no efect.
By the way if you ever wondered what the difference is between "Air Conditioning" and "Climate control" effectively it i as I described above.
With "Air conditioning" the temperature does not automatically adjust, you can set the "Air con" to cold and it will stay cold all the time, it will not maintain a set temperature.
No A2 has "Air Conditioning" they all have either "Climate control", or just plain heating (Circular controls on the heater dash) However, climate control uses airconditioning as well, but just automatically.
