The Ultimate Webasto Gas Heater Thread (Photos, parts sources, trades)

Anyone feel the desire to make theirs work again?

I will pay close attention to this thread because I will make this system work one day. It´s cold where I live



A few week ago I received gift from one of the previous owner of my car. He sent me most of the pieces I´m missing also a NOS muffler



Here is a link for you Mike. Post #4 should give you an idea of the flapper box color.

Wow! That was a nice gift. NOS mufflers are very spendy if you can find them!

[merbesfield]

Does anyone repop that muffler?

Aase Sales just released their reproduction onto their website.

Very helpful Thread. Thank you!

BTW, from my experience, with these heaters, it is VITAL that no fuel leaks are confirmed before igniting they. There are some real crispy stories about people thinking all the lines were tight and good.

There are two videos on Youtube that I think are very cool! This is the first time I have heard the sound of the Webasto

Here is the second one:



He mentions a 15 page Webasto manual, but I could not find it on the Samba. Is this a separate repair manual or is the same info in the workshop manuals???

Wow Radmund!! We don't need no stinking manuals... We have YouTube

The LWB diagram does not show the on/off switch or placement. My Italian '73S came with the aux heater switch installed with a small pigtail/harness. When on, the red light on the left side of the ventilation console should light up. The switch is on the lower dash to the right of the steering wheel exactly as shown in the Italian drivers manual. In the manual also is a paragraph or two on the aux heater and its operation. It is not on my COA, but is clearly a proper installation maybe at the dealer.

Here's the link to the manual on The Samba...
