Interesting-- software controlling heater. But assuming coolant at 110 C
is stewing away, what would it set on fire? I presume heater box is platic.

Hi Paul.

It's an additional electric heating element fitted to the outlet side of
the heater core. It's there to supplement cabin heating before diesels
come up to temp. It's either staying on too long or driven too hard by
the software I'd suggest.
