I thought all td4's had them?

Just prey it doesn't go wrong...... nearly £300 + VAT  :shock: Our garage broke a plastic pipe that connects to it.... this is only available as part of the heater  :roll: So they are making a pipe assembly!

They are not fitted to all TD4
I think a lot of the earlier ones had them fitted as standard.

It's a webasto fuel burning heater (like lorries) and they are triggered by temperature below 5 deg
Idea is it preheats the engine so it gets to working temp quicker and heater is warmer quicker
A kit is available to divert heat to the cab and you can also add a timer or remote control
So while you are having your brekky on a cold morning the car is warming itself up :D
