Well said.

Its not the autobox oil coiler is it?   Whatever I doubt it is something you turn on manually.   Pic will help of course.

I wondered the same thing when i noticed smoke coming from mine, apparently it's the engine heating device, does same as the old glow plugs.
But correct me if i'm wrong.
