went to warm up my 2014 a7 tonight and noticed the heat wasnt getting hot....looked at thermostat noticed it didnt move from C. So i back out of the spot and go around the block and engine starts to heat up and heat blowing out hot....what gives? is there a button for this engine thing or a vag com change?

Hence another reasons why new cars should NOT be warmed up in parking lots like older cars. you need to get in the car and drive it to get it to warm up. It does more harm to engine to warm it up while parked..

Warming Up Your Car in the Cold Just Harms the Engine
