Fitting the OEM Auxillary Heating Ductwork

[eugene]

Okay, to explain what's going on: The original VW heater outlet is 90mm (intake is 75mm btw).
The D2, St2000, and 2kw Planar/aliexpress heater outlet is 60mm.

To connect the 2kw heater to the original b-pillar ducting you can do the following:

2kw heater -> 60mm flexible metal duct (usually supplied with the heater) -> 60/90mm adapter -> rubber part of the VW duct.

The Webasto adapter part number: 9011011 / 1320760 / 9011011C / 1320760A

OEM Webasto Air Top 3500ST was 90mm inlet the same as the outlet not 75mm.
OD 90mm, ID 70mm:

Webasto pumps like a DP30 cannot be used on Eberspachers, totally different pumping rates.

Hi I am fitting a used oem 3kw 2016 eberspacher heater to my 2019 van. I have the overhead display for the webasto water heater and hope to use that to control the air heater.

Is there a generic fuel pump which I can use that will communicate with the van. The 7e0963303A seems to be the right pump but is very expensive.

I’m trying to do full oem retrofit and replace a 2D planar heater. The controller really annoys me and it doesn’t keep the van warm enough with the California pop top.

Yes, there are cheaper second hand original options. Look for Eberspacher 12v pumps that have 1-4 kw label on them

Btw, I think I will make the doorstep grille available on amazon, probably in 1-2 months.

Your overhead display is not compatible with your OEM air heater.

 

[TALLANDREW]

That sounds like trouble why is the overhead controller not compatible?



Part number 7E0819006K

Screen is the




Car is T6 not 6.1.

6 has 3kw ebersbacher and 6.1 has the 3,5kw erbersbacher heater or at least that’s my understanding

 

[TALLANDREW]

I’m worried now, you said the heater is not compatible with the controller.

I was just about to buy the missing parts. There’s no need to do that if this isn’t going to work.

I thought I was on the right path, all part versions are a similar age/series and could have been fitted together from factory

Did you mean that I would have a problem because the configuration of my webasto water heater which is operated from the roof top screen?

So I just found Autoterm in France actually sell plastic templates for the cut in the B pillar:

Looking to do this mod myself, but can anyone confirm the specs of the screws required for the B Pillar & Front Step ?
I have had a google search and cant find anything concreate, are they just generic bodywork fixings or something VW specific ?

2x Screws for B-pillar duct = N90739703
6x Screws for front step duct = N90879402

They are both the usual generic thread screws from memory that are used on plastic parts on the van
N90739703 Porsche TAPPING SCREW
N90879402 Porsche Hexagon socket head panel bolt
PS ignore the Porsche reference there about 50-60 pence each

Also all the ducting for 159 EUR + shipping looks like a good deal. I would probably go this route if I did another van.

 

[JumpShip]

By the time you add shipping and tax though ....

Thanks for that @airhoguk .

Just out of curiosity dose anybody bother to insulate the external Hot Air Duct ? and if so what did you use ?

Yeah I paid that from Volkswagen gate in Germany on Amazon, also can get the steps with the grills in on eBay for like 30 EUR here

Not perfect, but maybe this helps someone. It doesn't account for the curvature so maybe add a few mm. I don't have a scanner yet, else I would upload at 100% scale
