The webasto installer refuses to install in my car, as there's no installation manual from webasto or MG yet. ? for now i bought an electric 2kw flow heater on aliexpress to install in the coolant hoses in the engine compartment. Haven't installed it yet......being using heating did last 2 days and it isn’t good enough - direct clear the windscreen well. anyone installed block heater yet? Getting tempted
he will not install it as there´s no installation manual from webasto, and he´s afraid the car will not accept a cold morning and a preheated ICE ? i´m not able to convince him it´s no diff than any other car. the heater from ali is a small brick with built in pump, only needs to cut one hose going to the cabin, and connect both ends. i´m thinking that will convince the webasto installer.Did he say why he wouldn't install?
Seems a lot of trouble.
I take it it heats the coolant in the ICE, If so how is the coolant pumped around to get to the heater matrix?
If you fit it into the existing coolant system of the ICE does that invalidate the warranty?
Or have I got this totally wrong?
I fitted a heating system to heat cooking oil when I had a disco, the coolant was diverted around the cooking oil, to preheat it, so as to thin the cooking oil, It also had an electric preheat chamber to use first thing.
MG is ok with webasto, warranty will not be impaired.
