Title: Anyone fitted a aux fuel heater
Post by: daveangel 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:
