Fitted for about a grand and it will go under the drivers seat either inside the van or just underneath.
Try Vanworx on Portland in the South or M&CS on the Forum, he is up in Manchester. They fitted my Eberspacher and I would recommend them to anybody.
Hope this helps

Eberspacher under the drivers side ,about a grand all in
fitted , as above

We have one, brilliant wouldn't have another van without one


Best money you will ever spend

 

eber d2 airtronic u want with 801 controller, I fitted one in my day van, running off the leisure battery, warm as toast £720 from eber sales. com, stoke T:

 

i fitted one my self was not that hard i used this http://www.vwbooks.co.uk/t5.htm top 3 or 4 have a good read and see what you think T:T: i picked a used one for £250 A:A:

 

Many thanks for the info.

I will start saving up!!.

 

Have any of you got photos of how it looks from inside the van?

Also where does it input the cold air and output the heated air - I presume it does this under the driver's seat?

 

sorry no pics from inside you car"nt see the heater as its under the van the only thing you see is the outlet heater pipe.. the inlet is on the drivers step T:T:

Any chance of a picture to show how the inlet is fitted at the drivers step? Sounds like a neat solution.

Thanks in advance

 

found one not mine aboveT:T:

 

download this pdf file its all on there but i took the rout out the back of the seat http://www.1946vw.co.uk/vwbooks/vw_info/T5_pdfs/Airtronic_VW_de_T5.pdf T:T:T:

 

Mine is under the drivers seat and I made a chequer plate and carpet lined rear cover T:

 

And fitted by Andy at MC&S, top bloke

 

Toying with having one fitted myself, did you do any research into cost between diesel and gas and if so which is cheaper to run?
Cheers

 

As my Under driver seat area is already full of liesure battery and wires, the passenger seat is a swivel....is there an alternative postion for a diesel heater?

 

Underneath the van, hung from an adaptor plate on the chassis rail. Take a look at the German pdf link that Benlobster posted above and this alternative English version. You'll need to consider where the cabin air intake/warm air outflow are positioned if your underseat area is full, but the german version gives good pointers on this

 

mine also fitted by Andy at M&C under passenger seat with swivel base

 

Mines fitted in the 'dead space' between the drivers seat base and the B pillar. You need the skills of a gyneacologist to install it as the connections are under the crossmember but it works well and leaves under the seats free...

 

Given that (as far as I know) Eberspacher and Webasto are roughly the same price, I'd go for the latter, as it will look original in a Bilbos conversion. I've now had both makes, and they are both excellent heaters.

If you put it under the driver's seat it needs to be as close to the centre line of the van as possible - otherwise the outlet will point at the side of the fridge housing, rather than into the van living space.

If you need pictures of an original Webasto install in a Celex, let me know.

 

Probably in the wrong the spot here but does this advice work for T4's too. I've just got a new to me van (originally transporter now fitted as a caravelle) with all windows. I will freeze when I head to the snow this winter without some of the good forum advice

thank you

 

Hello there thanks for the top tips - saving for diesel heater and working through the plan of where best to put it. Thanks also for the recommendation for who to go to for fitting ...

 

Often these days I meet stressed out unhelpful people so it's a real pleasure to be in a community where there are so many really helpful people. Thanks for all the advice.

 

Its not possible to mount a swiveling heater

 

Thought that was probably the case but you never know! If it went under the drivers seat is it possible to have a leisure battery in a seat with swivel base? Just want to keep the van empty if possible with a removable seat leaving no battery etc. thanks for any help, much appreciated.

 

I think there was a post about a battery under a swivel seat the other day. Can't find it but our trade expert Upspex who is a member on here might have posted it. Have a search for his posts. I think the answer was it is possible.

 

Hi
Due to having my units along the seat backs, I have ruled out have the heater under my drivers seat or under the van as I will not be able to run the heat vent. Was wondering if I could install the heater at the back of the van under my bed and outlet the pipes through there? My concern would be be if the wiring loom long enough to reach the batter and the back of the van? Need to get this sorted ASAP because I am using the van in Scotland this year a couple of times to go snowboarding

 

the factory leads/loom is very long, around 4 mtrs. but you want to run the heater from a leisure battery then the main van battery doesn't go flat!!
so fit the battery within your reachT:
