Left side when sitting in the car? Sure it wasn't the FBH? 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

It should run when 6 degrees or below (IIRC). It makes a few ticking noises and then starts to more of a whine but you wouldn't normally hear the whine over the noise of the engine. You will also likely see some smoke if you look in the wheelarch on the LHS when it starts up. You can usually hear it winding down as well as it goes through a shutdown procedure when the engine is turned off. More info in the Wiki. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

If you've got the FBH, then you could try using the park heating to warm the car interior up prior to getting in when the temperature outside is below 16C.

I said 6 degrees above but I think I'm getting confused with my old D3. I was under the car today and the FBH was running and it was a lot warmer than 6! 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
