I'm planning for the future when I get up to installing a heater.
As far as I can think there are 4 main choices, in the poll.
So I'm looking for recommendations. I wasnt to happy with the control module of the last one and would have likes a remote turn on, but it was rather expensive.
So...
I have a planar/Autoterm PU27 LED controller which I just used to test my heater when installed so still has the film etc on it and is essentially new. Good upgrade for anyone that has the standard basic controller.
these look to be about £85, anyone interested for £60 before I put it on eBay...
Hi Guys, just got a T6 camper 150 DSG……delighted with it so far.
It has a Webasto diesel heater fitted. I understand the heater air intake is through a circular vent in the driver’s side door step and the heater outlet is obvious behind the driver seat, but what is the purpose of the circular...
I decided to go for an autoterm diesel heater but wasn't looking forward to dropping the diesel tank. Someone suggested I could use a T-piece connected to the return pipe between the tank and adblue as the picture. It was so easy to fit the hardest part was attaching the rubber tube. Sofar...
Just wondering if anyone runs a separate tank (rather than connecting to the main fuel tank) for a diesel heater (ie. Eberspacher etc)?
If so where have you located the tank and any issues?
I'm wanting ro mount the heater in the factory position under chassis (drivers side).
Cheers!
Due to change in circumstances now looks like I have to fit a chinese diesel heater under drivers seat, only issue is seat base trims with footwell leds. I am struggling to find a 60mm ID vent that will squeeze in the 75mm recess.
Given that I ended up sitting in my pants in my van at 2am because my ( got to get this right ) Airtronic S2 D2L decided to go into full blast mode as the outside temperature had dropped below 5 degrees - What heating system would you recommend ?
( I can’t got through a winter in my pants at...
Looking at fitting one of the chinese heaters but dont want hassle of dropping tank for now. Has anyone located the supplied tank out of the way, need something for wild camping over next bank holiday weekend, I know its hassle filling up but wonder if it will fit inside spare wheel itself or...
Hi Guys,
Had an autoterm/planar heater installed and at the time the guy didnt have any angled vents to push the air around our kitchen unit. I've brought one which i actually think is a wrong one. But I cant get the current one off and didnt want to brute force it incase i broke it.
How do...
Used Webasto Air Top 3900 Evo 3.9Kw heater - petrol. Very low working hours approx 350 hrs only.
This is a heater that is made up from various parts by myself with a new burner and glow pin, used motor with less than 300 hours working, non-original case. All checked and tested.
OEM exhaust and...
Pete came to our house in Kent today and fitted a Planar diesel heater
Great guy, cleared a light fault while he was with us (because he could!) and did a first rate neat job.
Gave me a really clear lesson in operating it and programming etc and offers a full telephone back up.
Currently about 75% through my day van build and I'm completely undecided on whether to install a diesel heater or not... Figured I'd put it to the forum to get some opinions...
The setup is a fortywinks bed in the van and awning. We have a little one so mostly camping spring to autumn, no...
Guys
Recently had an issue with my Planar 2kw diesel heater
PU27 Display kept showing the following error.
Sometimes when you get this - its a case of checking two things
1) Has your leisure battery been low/ flat
2) Disconnect the control unit and re-connect it
Putting these things...
Hi all,
Just about to install a 2kw mk Airo external diesel heater to our t6. Great heaters, had one on our previous T5.
Question is regarding the pipe/hose used to go from the fuel tank to the pump and onto the heater itself.
Why does the kit have short (6cm ish long) sections of 4.5mm ID...
An aftermarket diesel heater with this control panel is installed in the van I have just bought. I'm still perplexed as to how to program it. Does anyone know the make so I can dig up the instructions? There are no clues on the heater itself or the panel. It might be a generic control panel...
Heej guys,
We are thinking of installing a diesel heater under our van. ( Planar 2d).
But since we have a TSI petrol van, we don't have a diesel tank.
So we could install a separate small diesel tank for the heater underneath the van.
Since we don't have An adblue tank neither, i was maybe...
Hi,
Hopefully not a stupid Q, but I recently had a diesel heater installed and have been wondering...
Is it okay to drive with the heater running? For example, I often preheat the van before a drive locally for a walk and would be nice to know if I need to turn it off then back on when I...
