2 questions (possibly daft)on Webasto heating (HL32D).

[NealB]

1) Is it possible to fit a very simple time switch so I can set when the heating comes on in the morning?

2) The ducting from the heater unit is not lagged, so the engine room is heated most effectively. Is there any reason why I shouldn't fit some some lagging so more of the heat gets to the cabins?

Many thanks for any thoughts.

Hi
Quick reply -
1. You can buy a timer that works with some Webasto and Eberspacher systems. I have no idea how good they are or which ones they work with. You could try here as a starting point.
2. You can buy original spec stuff from:

Keto Ltd
25 Albany Park
Poole
Dorset
BH 17 7BX

Tel 01202 690900

I've seen many previous posts on here advising of the various types of products you can and can't use depending upon the route of your ducting. Worth a search back.

Talk to Toby @ Keto he is just a mine of information on heating and will sell you the bits without ripping you off!!

I had mine done by him and its the dog' bits

Fo lagging the duct - cheapskate method is to lay rockwool over the ducting and hold it in place with cheap B&Q ali ducting cut down its length.
It does make a difference... and a lot cheaper than the "right" stuff which is thinsulate.

Dont skip..get the thermo duct from Keto. A tip, dont lag the first 18 inches from the heater as this could cause the unit to get too warm.

In a recent conversation, Webasto recommended not to insulate the first metre of the run.

I bought one of THESE and it works well. You can set it to come on 3 times a day for up to 2 hours 7 days a week or on constant. You'll also need a mounting kit (part number 25 1482 70 01 00 ) if you want to flush mount it. The wireing is a bit fidly in that you have to solder the connectors but easily do-able.

According to that ebay seller, you need the Webasto badged one for a Webasto system.
