Heating and air conditioning problems in the 2015 VW Amarok diesel: experiences and solutions

Hey, a fan motor problem sounds like a pretty big deal! Do you remember how much it cost you to replace it? And has any other problem come up since then? I really have to decide now whether to go to the garage straight away or not... Thank you!

Hey, yes, it was really tough, it cost me €350 to rectify the fault with the electric auxiliary heater. Since I've been to the mechanic, however, the heating and air conditioning have been running without any problems. No further problems since then. I would definitely recommend going to the garage straight away. Better sooner than later with something like this, you know? It will only get worse if you ignore it. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for the info, that sounds like a tidy sum, but if it works then it's worth the price. You're right, I think it's better if I get it checked as soon as possible. I don't want to risk it getting even more expensive. Hopefully I'm just over-worried and it's nothing too bad. Thanks again for your help!

Good day! To me it could be the electric auxiliary heater or climate control system. I've had similar issues with mine in the past. My mechanic was able to fix it by checking the fuses and replacing a faulty thermostat. All the best!

How do you do? My parking heater is locked. Can I unlock it using the Carly adapter or do I have to go to a workshop? Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards Brigitte Mettler

While the Carly adapter can perform a variety of diagnostic tasks, unlocking a parking heater is not typically one of them. It's recommended to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic for this issue. They have the necessary tools and expertise to safely and effectively unlock your parking heater.

Hi! I have a 2012 VW Passat Alltrack with a Webasto Thermotop V and it gives faultcodes DTC-01410 and DTC-01411 wich are heater overheating and temp. Sensor G-18. I cannot find any direct answers on causes but some claim the burner can be faulty, too much soot in the chamber, another one had a broken DSG temp sensor wich apparently messed with the Webasto… I would like to know if there are any straight answers and/ or what i should look for, what to be extra carefull with, should i get gasket sets before disassembly etc… Any tips? Thank you!

The fault codes DTC-01410 and DTC-01411 indicate an overheating issue and a problem with the temperature sensor G-18 respectively. These could be due to a faulty burner, excessive soot in the combustion chamber, or a malfunctioning DSG temperature sensor. Before disassembling, it's recommended to first check the DSG temperature sensor and clean the combustion chamber. If the problem persists, then you might need to replace the burner. Having a gasket set on hand before disassembly is a good idea. However, due to the complexity of these issues, it's advisable to have a professional mechanic perform these checks and repairs to avoid causing further damage.

Thanks! I am educated as a ships engine mechanic and cars/chainsaws/motorcycles are my hobbies but this is new to me… I’m usually quite carefull and always collect as much info as i can before i start a job and have most tools on hand, do you think that should be enough to not mess it up too bad? Going to a mechanic in Norway is expensive as fuck so I’d prefer to try it myself… Thanks!
