Eg. My car will go from cold to hot coolant within 2-3 miles. Don’t see any smoke from the exhaust ever though even on a cold day. I can smell the exhaust fumes on that side though on a cold day

You can tell which heater you have, if you have a auxiliary cabin heater you will have a little fob that you can turn it on when the car is parked up.
Well, I have the Auxiliary Ventilation option on the nav screen with a "fan" sign which turn red when programmed to worked, so I suppose that it's programmable only for the vent heating of the cabin and not the coolant. However it also worked when it's cold outside to heat the coolant toget a warm engine asap as I hear it and see smoke coming from it's own exhaust pipe under the driver side. So it worked as @clavurion and you said.

So if I understand well, everything is normal with my webasto so it's fine
