Webasto Auxiliary Heater - customizing

Not really. As soon as outdoor temperature drops below +5C, the "Smart charging" regime fades away and the battery will get "full blast" charging - at approx. 14.8 Volts full time when engine is running. I'd say the battery will be fully charged.

E.g. yesterday it was -3C. Two 30+ min drives charging at the max voltage - as on day before, and on the day before that...
The voltage drops before driving are due to running Webasto 10-15 mins.

When it gets really cold (-20C and below) as battery's charge acceptance deteriorates certainly need to keep eye on "energy balance" of the battery. To be on safe side, the rule of thumb we use is: in average need to run vehicle as long as Webasto is used for preheating.

If you still could dwell a bit on this - I'm curious how the flashing is now seen in "Advanced ID" under 18-Aux. Heater :geek:?

Having some weird issue with VCDS - every time I go to change some adaptations under module 09 (Cent. Elec.) as soon as I select something in the drop down list the VCDS disconnects and I get a communication error message. Sometimes I get "Unable to communicate with address 09. Are you sure the doors are unlocked?

I have created a thread elsewhere just wanted to check here too...

As you can see for the scan above, communication otherwise seems ok

So this looks like you had to flash it twice.
I wonder what went wrong with the first attempt.

Then, a suggestion - if you are running Webasto from starter battery, change coding to 5101 (now 5001) by ticking Bit 0 (of byte 0).

Then Webasto would be under van's own "energy management" which would inhibit starting Webasto if starter battery is too low. Otherwise there is a chance to end up having non-starting but warm van :D
(Ignore the Bit 3 in the picture)

Currently internal low voltage cut-out is set 11.3 Volts (see adaptations).

Thanks again @mmi - this is now activated too !

If I wanted to change the temperature the auxiliary heater activated at (currently 5'c - thinking to change to 8'c) would this be the correct place to do that? :

Yes, that would be the correct place. Actually I would tweak also upper threshold accordingly to prevent repetitive starting/stopping of Webasto.
upload_2020-3-11_12-51-25.png

E.g. I have tweaked mine other way - to trigger at slightly cooler temperatures.
upload_2020-3-11_12-54-0.png

However, currently the VCDS cannot do this ---> VW Transporter T6, Address 18 Aux.Heat --- Adaptation FAIL
Fortunately OBDeleven all0wed me to change these.

Just a note - it seems that Security Access is needed for Webasto adaptations, and interestingly different adaptations use different codes. The VCDS shows all the access codes but doesn't explicitly specify which one to use - so if one doesn't work then try another.

----------------
To understand how often the Webasto has been fired up in the past you could dig out a blockmap from Webasto (--> Aux. Heater Blockmaps, Adaptation maps - How-to ) and to even more to elaborate on this :geek:- the same blockmap from engine (module 01) to see how many times engine has been started.
PS. Interested here to see if the flashing zeroed counters in Webasto blockmap - please ;)

Is it possible to isolate power going to overhead unit only?

Just a follow up on this but... I’m starting to use the auxiliary heater a lot and worry a bit about draining the main (starter) battery. If I fit a secondary battery under the passenger seat will the heater still run off the main battery? Is there a way to run of the secondary or both batteries ?

Have a look below.

It appears that you would need to redirect your heater supply from fuse SC46 to your auxiliary battery to take it off the starter battery.

In the attachment the OEM way - (also my way).

However, the heater cabin blower will still run from starter battery - approx. 6 Amps still remaining (of total of 12 Amps).

However, I think you can't drain starter battery (too low) by using the Webasto - the Energy Management kicks in well before and either prevents starting the heater or shuts it down. A quote from my post ---> VCDS And Carista Fault Codes
"​
0040 [B1381 00] - Shutdown by Battery Management Module​
Van was not driven for 4 weeks, Webasto didn't start from a remote, however the van still cranked and started just fine. Temperature -1℃ .​
Battery Management (61) reported available charge 18 Ah (Battery 92 Ah, 2+ years).​

I've seen the same a few times. Still under investigation but at the moment the prime suspect is battery voltage getting low. I seem to get this starting at around 12 Volts at cigarette socket but can't tell what's at the BCM or at the OBD-socket (definitely less anyway).
