Aux Heater Some Tips On How I Got Mine Working

[zorgman]

at long last ive got the aux heater working on my 99 sharan.

now if yours is not working dont jump in like i did and change the plug, first check that the small pump at drivers side just in front of tank is ok mine had a corroded wire on it but you can solder a new wire on and remake the connection. the system then tried to wind up so i knew that the plug was ok

 

pump ok then into the heater itself. my plug was working as connect up to a 12v battery for a few seconds (no longer as its 8v and will burn out). if it glows red hot it may be ok but i changed mine put it all back together and still just a bit of smoke then shuts down.

Off it came again and off to the vw agents and ordered the gasket set 7D0-898-003 cost
