Hi there guys!
I've decided to get my recently purchase A2 fully winterized by hacking into the webasto, allowing it to preheat the engine without the need for the main lump to be running and circulating coolant. Plan is to build my own little remote control unit with basic open source wifi / 433mhz hardware.
I have a good electric coolant circulation pump which I will plumb in soon, all I need to know is if it is possible to trigger a (diagnostic?) mode to make the heater start up without some sort of official kit or programming intervention from Audi. Already worked out how to get the interior fan running without the ignition being on, last stumbling block is the webasto...
Anyone seen or heard of this being done before?
Appreciate any tips, it's cold up here in Norway!
Cheers
