My wife's Mietek - MB W168 has the same setup with Webasto that is using diesel fuel for heating coolant when temp drops below 8c. Definitely it helps to keep the engine warm. Can't say if it helps global FE or not, haven't tested it yet. I'll thry to get some numbers though when cold days will come.
