Hello,
I am wondering how complicated would it be to implement this function which exists on the other vehicles such as some MK6 and MK7 here.
My idea would be to install a second electric coolant pump on one of the heater core lines and find a way to power up the HVAC without switching the ignition (I know that webasto made some kind of implementation of this).
That way we could circulate coolant through the engine and the heater core and vent it in the cabin without the engine running although it wouldn't last that long, it would still be useful in some cases.
Now there are some questions:
- I don't know if it's OK the put the pump in-line directly or if it could impede the normal coolant flow
- Not sure if the engine thermostats would be a problem or not, but I don't think, it would be a small loop if the thermostats are closed.
What do you think?
