I have the same thing but it's my seat damn it. The wife stays warm while my
butt takes a beating.

I put Redline in my Mazda's tranny after the old one exploded. I never had 
a problem with shifting in the cold right down to -30 temp. My A3 is a 
little stiff in the morning to shift and I can hear some kind of gurgling 
noise from under the hood. It goes away when I depress the clutch. [Which 
is weird , I figured it was coolant circulating]

Heated seats are great, too bad the passenger side doesn't work.  Is there 
a fuse for this I can check ?
