Does Idling with Heater On Damage the Car?

Idling with the heater on will slow down the engine's warm-up speed and increase fuel consumption, but it will not cause damage to the car. More information about idling in place is as follows: 1. According to relevant test data, the impact of turning on the heater while idling is related to the car's displacement and engine tuning. Of course, the main effects of idling in place are increased fuel consumption and engine carbon buildup, so it is recommended not to leave the car idling for extended periods. 2. In idle mode, turning on the heater will not cause serious damage to the car, but it can affect the occupants. However, when the engine is idling, incomplete fuel combustion produces carbon monoxide. If the windows are not opened, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the car will gradually increase, potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning for the occupants.
