I remember someone talking about a SMS activated relay to start the heater.

May be a cheaper alternative to the remote.

Mmmm all this heater talk has me thinking if it would be worth it on the S8

I Think this is the pump, with the 90˚ inlet/outlet.

Looks right.
Different plug but that's not really an issue.

You can get the 20mm coolant hose coupler from an aquatic/pond supplier and use the Audi Spring clips.

I was working on a Range Rover over the weekend and noticed that the Aux heater was the same as ours and it comes with the recirculating pump that we want/need.
Its a 57 plate.

Not sure if it will help us in locating a pump.

Thats interesting i have all of that apart from the wabasto heater.. when i go in the shops i can leave it on a 15 min timer and the pump circulates the coolant keeping the car warm inside but only works if the engine is warm. The only pre heating i have is via the electric Quad zone again all done on times in the mmi menu ..

I wander if there was an electric version for cold climates that had a petrol model ?
