Actually you are right its not UK, its EVERYWHERE.
Just had 2012 Touran which has auxiliary heater to support it while car heats up, not electric one.
Found out with VCDS unit is locked.
You want to know when to this error was dated ?
It was october 2012, car serviced by dealer in Munich, Germany for last 260 000 km and 6 years.
Owner obviously didn't know about heater error.
Otherwise great car, nothing had failed, Original clutch, DMF, DPF, injectors, turbo everything.
And it was mostly on 30 000 km ''longlife'' oil service
Top engine mount was starting to wear and made engine vibration in low RPM in low load condition, but cheap fix.
Also no DPF problems as Autobahn driving makes them last long.
No stupid emission fix done.
Whats the point to go to dealer if they just don't care and service they provide is like that.
You are not supposed to know it had some errors, dealer has to check, but they didn't.
Lucky you to have good dealer nearby, or just having good cars...
