It is no longer a problem to warm up in my diesel car.
Whether your engine temperature is as cold as I want, I can heat the cabin in 40-50 seconds.

Well done!

However, QuickHeat has been standard for all nordic region Astra diesels and since 2018 standard for ALL Astra K range.
I have it on 1.6T and it sure helps defrosting :)

Is anywhere mentioned it´s power?
I have a 2016 diesel astra and i live in the nordic region so supposedly i have the quick heat, but on a cold day with sub zero temperatures celsius, it takes more than 45 seconds to get the windscreen free of moisture.

Is the 45 seconds, a bit optimistic or is my car not equipped with this anyway or maybe it is broken ?

Does it come on automatically and can i see somewhere, that it is actually on and will the car know that it is faulty if it is ?

Do you have a active air grill shutter ?

There are no active shutters on my 1.6T.
I would like that, i know Robinhood has added it to his car, but i dont know if it will be possible to retrofit and make it work on a 2016 astra.

I would not think a 2016 is ready, software wise ?

So you can not update the software ?

Does your shutters not work then ?

Where do you write?
I'm from Belarus. I want to install quick heat just like you do. There is no problem to buy this electric heater. But it's not clear to me if you had quick heat power leads in your car? Or did you have to run the wires from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment yourself? Also for quick heat a 100A fuse is required. Have you installed it?

так как установки нет, ее следует переставить согласно директивам. Я могу подключиться к вам удаленно и установить программу.

Спасибо. Для начала мне нужно смонтировать провода и установить qh. Что мне необходимо сделать для возможности удаленного программирования? Какая цена?

Do you know how to do the wiring?

The price is normal. I placed the order "qh" and will receive it soon. To install "qh" I will use your instructions. So far, this is the only instruction that I have found for Astra K. The Russian forums are full of information on installing "qh" on Astra J, Zafira, Insignia. In Astra J, Zafira in most cases there is always a wiring for "qh", but in Astra K and Insignia there is no wiring. Therefore, I will have to independently lead the wires into the engine compartment and connect the "+" to connector 7. I will connect the control wires to the climate control unit (as in your photos). I also need to connect a 100A fuse. It is a pity that you do not have a photo of the wire and fuse connection in the engine compartment🙁.

The wires, apparently, will have to be routed to the engine compartment, approximately in the area of the pedals. Where did you run the wire to connector 7? No photo? You have excellent instructions, but the photo of the engine compartment is a little lacking ... But I will try and I hope I succeed! Do you need mdi for remote programming? My friend has it. By the way, does qh work on your car? I read this thread and concluded that initially qh did not work due to the lack of a program.

yes, it wasn't working at first. But then I programmed it for both q. h. and active front grille. I made this work without it. You won't need 100amper insurance. Because insurance is already available at exit 7. To carry the cable in, you need to remove the wipers and the plastic protection there completely. Then you'll see the bundle of wires coming in. You get the connection for the ground from the iron under the q.h.

Sorry, I didn't quite get it. What is an "active front grill"? What is needed for remote programming? Laptop and mdi? And then you will be able to connect to my car and activate qh?
