Hello all,
As I'm sure you all realize, I'm doing quite a bit to my car right now, alcantara, air suspension, rear fridge, automated boot lid, comfort turns, possibly a solar roof, etc., etc. Anyway, I'm thinking about adding the parking heater option to my car as well using some parts available from Germany. What I know I need are the heater, the door switch, and some hoses. What else will I need to accomplish this? Is there a control module or relay system? I'm awaiting arrival of a Bentley Manual as we speak, but even so I'm not sure the diagrams for this are featured in it. Any advice or insight is appreciated. |

Do you have a diesel? Can't remember what engine you have, these need diesel, and a low temperature before they will kick in.

Do not have diesel, but they were installed on gasoline Phaetons and other petrol VWs as well, can't see why they wouldn't work on the Audi. Perhaps I'm wrong?

Perhaps too there is a difference between "auxiliary heater" and "parking heater." The latter is what I am referring to.

If my memory serves me correctly (and I can't remember if it does!) the Webastos in the Audis are electric. Part of the winter pack is an auxillary battery that sits above the primary battery.
Do a search with 'Webasto' there are a couple of threads regarding the control electronics on the forum.

Maybe there was an electric one for petrols, certainly the diesel engined cars use a little diesel powered one.
