Any other Californian's happy with the All Weather Pkg - now that it is cold?

Those heated seats do come in handy....however, the hottest I can handle is the "3" setting....it has only gotten down to 32 degrees C, but that is cold enough for me. Anybody else notice a weird clacking noise (way more noisey than what noisey lifters sound like) when you start the car in cold weather? BTW, I am not low in oil.Steve "enjoying the heated seats" S. 97 2.8QM

Love it!

But I put mine up to 4 (usually 2-3), which is due to the fact that I have leather and you don't I think.Buttwarmers are the greatest invention. My parents drive to work in their A6 and not in their new Golf-IV just because mom wants the buttwarmers :-)The knocking is normal, at least all our Audis did it (you should hear dad's V6-TDI in sub-0C temperatures!)- Stan

I dig the heating seats on a cold morning

I usually put the seat on 6 and leave it only until the heater has warmed up the cabin. My wife loves the heated seats feature and wished her car had it.

Oh yeah.. But I always think they are great...

They were truely the most important part of the cold weather package for me. My dad had a Saab with them, and ever since I have always wanted them again... Ah, this is great...

Don't have that, but...

The heater cranked to 74F heats up the cabin really fast. I do hear clicking noises presumably from the HVAC control systems behind the dash. I also am experiencing intermittent whirring noises when I take off hard in 1st gear since it got really cold around here. I can seldom duplicate the noise at will. I know if I tell the dealer, they'll never be able to reproduce it. Also, thanks to my romp in the snow, I noticed that my driver side mirror's heater is not functioning. Things just to mention at the 15K service I suppose. Now why the hell did I post this at your post? I don't even have heated seats?!P2 yes...on vacation for 2 weeks!!
