Heater
The heater Volkswagen Transporter T4 runs on the appropriate fuel, regardless of the heating / ventilation system of the car and can work for a long time while driving or parking the car.
Fuel is supplied from the fuel tank of the car, and power is supplied from an additional battery. With the help of the timer built into the system, three different times for turning on the heater can be set.
Those. you can turn on the heater without being in the car. At the factory, the operating mode of the auxiliary heater is set to 30 minutes of continuous operation.
If desired, you can increase this time to four hours or set this mode as basic. When an additional battery is disconnected, all modes are erased, the 30-minute operating mode is restored.
On vehicles with a compartment bulkhead, only the cargo compartment is heated.
The T4 heater must be switched off when refueling the vehicle.
In this case, it must be taken into account that the switching off of the heater fan occurs, as a rule, with a delay. When the car is in a closed space (garage), the heater must also be turned off to prevent poisoning by combustion products. When driving in mud and deep snow, the exhaust pipe of the heater may be clogged.
Therefore, before turning on the heater, check the patency of the exhaust pipe. The heat exchanger of the Volkswagen T4 heater is designed for operation for 10 years.
After the expiration of this period, it is recommended to replace it with a VW service station. To do this, the year of commissioning or the date of replacement during repair is indicated on the nameplate of the heater (on the bottom of the vehicle). Additional heater
Installed only on vehicles with 75 kW engines.
When the engine is running, it additionally heats the coolant.
The resulting combustion products exit through a special exhaust pipe located in the arch of the left front wing. After the engine is turned off, the auxiliary heater fan continues to run for a while - this is normal.
