Paladine Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 OK so I live in Poland, it is !Removed! cold. I find my MK1 1.8 TDDi takes an age to heat up (over 15 minutes idle time) and can take a long time to clear the windscreen. I cannot get a mains powered heater/blower because my car is parked in a car park about 150 yards away from my apartment so I am trying to find out if there is another solution. I noticed some people talk about electrically heated blowers on some Focuses - I don't think mine has it but is it possible to get one fitted and if so what part do I need? Failing that does anyone have any other recommendations - I was thinking about a 12v heater but have read some really bad things about them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobTdci Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I had one of the electric heaters that works from the accessory socket and I'm afraid they are useless, just produce a lot of noise and almost no heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
