AFAIK, this option was only usually available / fitted in cold climate countries i.e. Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc.

The German TDI as well. Mk.V from the beginning (2003).
Mk.IV I don't know exactly, but I guess around 2000 they had this (the older 'water heat' version).

so hoooold upp...

assuming my car hasn't got this fitted which I dont think it has,

all thats required for this is the heater element, a positive power feed, earth and a pair of can bus splices and I can have warm air in my golf within 30seconds in the winter?....

Yes.
First have a look if you have a 140 A alternator or at least a 120 A type.
All TDI and all GTI I've looked at had the 140 A.
