You could consider this to be a one time offer group buy. I have a limited number of the Webasto heaters band new in the box for 375 plus shipping. The 508 price below was not bad as new I believe these were over 1000 dollars. I could sell them for more on eBay but this is not...

Has anyone had any luck getting a Webasto repair manual since the GM manuals don't cover the heater breakdown itself? I emailed the OEM section at Webasto and was told to contact GM. Lynn I believe you had posted before that it was a DW-50 model, is that correct? --- On Fri, 1...

Been there, considered the metric mind heater and replaced the diesel. I ended up replacing the heater with a new one (Webasto may still have 15- 20 in stock of this model) . I ended up replacing the heater for $508. Before you replace the heater, check the inline fuel pump th...

I think some folks with other types of EVs have installed electric seat warmers to keep themselves warm without heating the entire cabin. However, if your trying to keep the window defrosted in freezing weather, then that won't work. Stephen On Jan 7, 2010, at 6:05 AM, Michael...

My FFH works fine, while I'm parked. It passes all of the tests with the Tech 2 and heats the cab nicely. As soon as I head down the road, it starts blowing cold air. The heat pump does a nice job above 40 degrees. I have considered this, http://www.evparts.com/cat-Heating+..h...

The fuel fired heater does not heat the water in the radiator. There is a separate coolant loop with a separate reservoir for the heater. The FF heater loop's reservoir is a rectangular shaped reservoir on the driver side of the engine compartment about 8 inches behind the rad...

Earlier this season, my heater was putting out a decent amount of heat, but lately it's been running much cooler. I've noticed that sometimes I'll see smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, but it's cold too!? I wonder if the current rash of problems have any common causes? My...

Happy New Year!!! I had the Tech 2 on it last night on a 15 mile trip. The heater will fire up when commanded by the scanner, and it fires up when you first turn it on. It just won't continue to run. I've read everything I could find in the archives and thought my Ambient Temp...

Hi, Michael-- Please let us know if you find out to the contrary, but there's unlikely to be any pure water in the batteries, and any other chemical in liquid form would have a dramatically different freezing point. So no, 32?F would likely not be a temperature at which state...
