This axle nut torque issue is nonsense. I have had this and I told the dealer exactly what to do, they said they had heard nothing about this.
It is madness because it is a very common fault on GM/Vauxhall cars, a well known issue on the Astra model, here. Same hub ends AFAIK, out of the GM bin.
It's insane that this company doesn't talk about high rate faults that customers experience with their cars.
Vauxhall/Opel are being sold to PSA (announced yesterday) so maybe PSA will actually be a better owner of the marque than GM have been.
As for the heater, it seems there can be one or multiple of a relatively small number of faults here;-
a) the electric coolant pump is not working properly. This IS covered under the Voltec drive warranty.
b) if power is drawn when heater shows 'on', then the blending valve between the HVAC circuit and the engine circuit is sticking open, either completely or jamming open a little.
It would seem in the OPs case that once the system cools down the valve does return to the fully closed condition but seems to remain open for a while after the system has warmed up.
