Does Evoque have a diesel powered engine heater?
Normally folks ask me this sort of question but over on another forum (not an RRE forum) there is a posting about wanting to fit a timed cycle remote control so somebody can preheat their Evoque and also their RRS using the same system.
As far as I know the Evoque doesn't have a diesel powered engine heater and the cabin heater is an electric PTC system using a ceramic element fan heater similar to the portable ones you can buy for in your house. In some markets there is a diesel powered engine block heater (Scandinavia winter pack) but it is not, as far as I am aware, available for UK spec cars. I know Pete Bell was working on a system for Evoque but with summer approaching it's probably taken a back seat to other developments he is working on.
Certainly looking under the bonnet I don't see the usual bits that I have had on both my RRS's, both the FFRR's and the Freelander1 that would indicate there is one.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Apparently the space that the overseas-fit diesel heater takes up is occupied by the right hand drive of the UK Evoque.
