Hydronic heaters, Engine pre-heaters. I plan to install a engine pre-heater and this is how I got the unit up and running in my Ford Transit self build camper van. To keep my engine warm in arctic winter

This video how me getting two Webasto Thermo Top V heaters up and running ( different from the Webasto Thermo Top Z C/D but with the same purpose. )

These heaters are factory installed on a number of different car models my two are from a Land Rover discovery 3 ( eBay £27 ) and a Land Rover discovery 4 ( eBay 99p ), additionally The 0.40 webasto fuel pump from a discovery from eBay for £26 ( different from the 0.22 pumps used on Chinese Diesel air heaters.

These heaters are not as simple as just a 12v signal to start ( apart from Rover 75 models of the Thermo Top Z ), Most need a 'W-Bus" Signal which is part of their communications protocol. This signal can come from an original webasto controller or In my case a third party W-Bus adapter.

At the time of posting I can no longer find the original W-Bus Adapter I used.
Here is a link to an alternative that I have not personally tested but appears a popular option.

Sell new plugs and terminals for this style of heater

Sell spare parts for this type of heater however they are original and can be expensive.

Models to avoid are the ones from VW vehicles, as they use a different type of communication protocol to start.

These heaters could be used for a Hydronic heating system, Engine preheater or more. They could be used to heat hot water or underfloor heating or even air heating for a campervan.
