CIAO,
Non so se è possibile postarlo in questo sub.
Sono svizzero e ho appena scoperto che l’auto che intendo acquistare, importata dalla Svezia, ha un riscaldamento dell’abitacolo (e forse un riscaldamento del motore?).
Ma sinceramente non so cosa pensare a riguardo. È un problema per l’installazione meccanica/elettrica dell’auto? È possibile rimuoverlo? Vivo in una città dal clima temperato, non fa mai eccessivamente freddo e comunque non ho un posto dove collegarlo.
Effettivamente lo trovo più divertente che altro, ma vorrei avere qualche informazione a riguardo ?
Grazie in anticipo per le vostre risposte

Cabin heater is neither good or bad.
Engine heater is good, since it can pre-warm the engine before it starts, reducing wear and tear on the enginge parts.
It really doesn’t have any effect on the functionality of the rest of the car, most of them have an on off switch so if you keep it tutned off it will have zero impact on your car.
Those questions are wild
There is a normal 220 plug under the passenger dash. You can unplug it there and leave the rest of the heating system alone. It won’t be intertwined in the cars electrical system so its safe to ignore.
Looks like a standard plug-in cabin heater used for pre-heating the cabin. You can just remove it if you don’t need it. It’s pretty standard in Swedish cars, especially in the northern parts of the country. An engine block heater is obviously important, but a cabin heater is also extremely useful because it takes a while for the cabin to heat up from e.g. -20C on a winter morning.
It is not connected to the car’s electrical system and won’t cause problems.
Luxury. The cabin heater doesn’t affect the electric or mechanical install, it’s completely separate and removable if you don’t like it.
That badboy is probably one or two screws to lefty loosy and toss away. A 1 minute job and nothing to consider as a positive/negative, it just is. Probably connected to normal 230VAC under the passenger seat for you to just unplug.
You would find it more useful than amusing when living in a country that have temperatures that regularly goes down to -30C, and often below that.
Idk how pre-heating an engine before start could ever be a bad thing, but I’m not a mechanic.
This is just, wow.
Ask a mechanic to explain like you’re 5 years old, preferably with crayon illustrations.
Just ignore it
Before you remove it please try out getting into a warm car in winter time. It’s pretty neat.
You don’t have those?!
I remember one of my family’s former cars had a mount for a standalone, detachable cabin heater sitting in that same spot. It was basically meant to sit there while your car was parked, so you could heat it up 10 minutes before actually using it, saving you time from scraping frost off the windows and generally making it cosier in winter. It was basically a gimmick that I think my family used maybe over one or two winters.
I don’t know if your car’s cabin heater is the same thing, but I imagine that it’d be something similar; a gimmick that you can just ignore or remove without much fuss.
Standard in Sweden, takes 10 seconds to remove if you don’t like it.
It’s rare to find a car in Sweden that doesn’t have this or another way to heat the car while parked.
These are pretty common in Sweden. It can get stupid cold during the winter, and if you park your car outside it’s nice to have something that will heat up the car quicker than what the ac itself can do
Its a progressive-muslim-car. They let the woman drive and take the blame if something goes bad. Basically they have their own break etc on the front passenger side to control the woman, a bit.
Where do you live? It’s shitty cold in Sweden and a plug for heating the car is the shit otherwise you will drive to work cold. Also you don’t have to defrost your car for 15 minutes. If you have it on during the night.
