Auxillary Heater - Has anyone got this?
« on: January 16, 2011, 04:46:21 pm »
I noticed today that in the handbook there is obviously an option for an auxillary heater. Does anyone have this and what does it heat exactly?

When you say engine is it linked to the sump for heating the oil?

I think the one you're referring to is factory fit on most diesels as they take a long time to heat up.  IIRC its a 2kw electrical heater for the cabin.  Don't think its a customer option (in this country anyway) - just depends on the engine you have.

auxillary heater from TDI
« Reply #4 on: February 04, 2011, 03:34:14 pm »
auxillary heater of TDI models:

Have a look here:  http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113468  :happy2:


Tools:
T25
6mm socket

Parts:
PTC Heater 1K0 963 235 E
Cover 1K1 819 349 E (optional)
10 feet 4AWG wire
4x 4 AWG ring connectors
Electrical Tape/zip ties
Connector 1K0 972 704 C
Repair wire 000 979 009
2 6mm nuts from the hardware store




My GTI has a 140 A generator as well.


There's a big difference between the two types of heaters
I don't understand:

heater Golf 5 TDI: 1K0 963 235 E - € 290,96 incl. VAT
heater Scirocco TDI: 1K0 963 235 F - € 130,31 inkl. VAT

Anybody knowing the reason?
