Anyone fitted a aux fuel heater
« on: December 05, 2011, 08:30:28 am »
Got tempted by an webasto auxiliary heater on eBay.de

Anyway had a go at fitting one?

Not expecting a big reply here  :driver:

I bought one of those on Friday then released my car already has one.




I was looking at the fuel webasto heaters. Fits under the front bumper?

I replaced my electric aux heater the other day as old one went faulty, will not be in a rush to do it again. Unlike in that guide, we have loads of plastic bracing to contend with for access  :fighting:
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

i was wondering if a webasto dealer would attack it. but it would be really good to see a car with it fitted
