Webasto or Eberspacher heater (and fitter) needed

[ChrisM1973]

Hi,
I'm looking to get either a Websasto or an Eberspacher heater fitted to my T6. I'm not hugely bothered which brand (the reviews seem to be that both are great). I just need hot air in the back when I'm weekending in the van.
One slight (potential) issue is that I was thinking of putting a headliner roof trim on the ceiling which has existing fan vents in it so would love to hook the heater up so it pumps air out through those. I have the headliner and the pipe, but the access is to the rear (drivers side) of the van.
Any technicians/fitters out there wanna drop me a line as I have business for you if you want it!
Thanks, Chris

Speak to Gary, 07768 856212. He does travel but whether or not he'll come to Brighton I couldn't say.

Where is Gary based i need the same thing for Bristol / South Glos Area

 

[travelvolts]

He's in the Midlands, I know he covers your area.

Brilliant thanks

Just be wary of where you buy from as I understand Eberspacher will only honour the warranty if you purchase via one of their authorised dealers.

Try a boatyard as well

Any mobile fitters in the N Wales / Chester area please?

Has anybody had Exploria fit the Webasto unit with the OEM venting kit?

Heater installation @Pauly Are you able to supply the input fitment and output vent fitment for the b pillar as used on by VW please? Seems this is a cool option Webasto heater fitted.

 

[Pauly]

I can indeed, have done this before for another member, input/output pipe connections/vented step/b pillar/vents etc

 

[Wills]

Cheers @Pauly can you provide the cost please? PM if required..

 

[Wills]

Any news @Pauly ?

 

[Pauly]

sorry mate forgot about this, pic below show the duct parts and price list (ignore part 7 on the price list as it shouldnt be there as its part of the rear heating)
In addition to this you will need the main B pillar trim which is around £61 + vat and a vented step which is £46 + vat but i do need to confirm i can get the step without the oval caravelle style light cutout
As a vip you will get 5% of all these prices

Thanks @Pauly , A few questions:
Part 1 connects to the step intake and parts 2 - 6 are the output venting?.
Does the vent fit on the NS b pillar?
Assuming the metal b pillar itself is already to accept the assembly and has a blanking plate as standard? Same for the vented step?
Is the caravelle step deeper than the panel van's? Can the existing be modified?

NOTE: Below vent is fitted to the OS

 

[Pauly]

Vented parts are only available for offside
AFAIK there are no holes to accommodate these and will need to be made, i think @Fish may be able to help you more as he already has all the bits to do this and has looked into it a bit more

Thanks @Pauly , A few questions:

A. Part 1 show does screw to the back(external) side of the drivers step. The metal panel of the step wall is not cut nor has a blanking plate, therefore will require cutting.. now from my understanding this can simply be a minimum of a 60mm hole (See image attached). Or you could do it properly and shape to suit a vented side step.

Does the vent fit on the NS b pillar?
A. @Pauly can supply all the vents and parts required for the drivers B pillar (only) that are ready to house heating ducting.

Assuming the metal b pillar itself is already to accept the assembly and has a blanking plate as standard? Same for the vented step?
A. Neither are cut nor have blanking plates. The only part of the kombi body that is ready to house the ducting is the underside that part 2 fits into.

Is the caravelle step deeper than the panel van's? Can the existing be modified?
A. Vented kombi steps are available via @Pauly
NOTE: Below vent is fitted to the OS
