Holes cut tek screws used yet I didn’t see any form of sealing around the vent pipes or rust prevention being applied to those areas. Why tek screws rivnuts are more professional. A case of all the gear no idea to me lol

Two things that concerned me about your install. No rust preventing to the holes produced by your self tapping screws. Secondly, if this car drives though any water creek say 400 mil deep the heater will be ruined, due to the water. This is precisely why I installed mine under the drivers seat. It is also worth noting that the combustion intake filter/ hose should be up high to prevent water intake

Haven't thought about that yet! Thanks. Now I am definitely going for an under-seat mount of my future heater.

Also, the mounting bracket is designed to use existing holes I assume for rivnuts, yet they've drilled fresh holes right next to it for tek screws. Also, they haven't even taken the protective film off the bracket!

Have a good day sir; You install heater under the vehicle because of the heater sound? And would be any problem if the heater contact with mud,water vs?

Very helpful! I made an almost identical installation of a Webasto heater on my VWT6. I found that a lot of noise is coming in through the hot air outlet. Does anyone experience the same? Any ideas on how to reduce that noise? Thanks!

sorry more negatives not mentioned but pump lookes as if mounted horizontal. its well documented elseware it should be at about 45 degrees output high or pump will wear out pematurely as there will be air at top of pump and no derv there that is its only lube so would be metal to metal causing wear, and bubles in fuel line are more likely as well. maybe it was corrected off picture, but we do not see that!

I looks to me it is mounted at 15% that’s enough to lube the piston by getting the tiny air bubbles pass the pump. However the rest of the setup is not good to be honesy

Sorry but no ... it may work in dry climates but other than that if there is any snow or got forbid u need to wade through decent puddle u done ... pls don't use self tapping screws into the frame u will rust it... exhaust should go outside of the wehice not underneath...

Yes did some installs and yes the exhaust like that is dangerous and would not be valid. Also the air intake I would take higher up and with an extra motorbike filter and mounting underneath will give you problems in the long term with moisture and dust. Self tapping screws will cause rust to. Muffler is mounted upside down so it will fill up with water (burning diesel causes water to get out of the exhaust always!) and than it will give error codes until it is rusted trough. I don’t like the setup even they are handy guys

ive basically copied this install on my van , what ive noticed is the how close the heat is directed at the door plastics , its gets the plastics mad hot ! what's your thought on this ? as for me its a concern !
@Heatersandfridges

I think you must have the airflow backwards. The door card is next to the return air to the heater and that should not get hot at all. The outlet should be in the back of the van usually under drivers seat or around that area. Check you have the heater the right way round.

something nobody has commented yet.. how this is installed, the outlet blows warm air inside, the air intake draws from the outside atmosphere in this installation. that is going to make the heater work waaaayy harder to warm air before it is blown inside so in turn is not very efficient at all, nor on fuel. that will dramatically reduce the life of the heater with it working so hard all the time. these heaters are designed as a heat exchange internally, so they are meant to draw internal air in, warm it a little further, and blow it back to inside the vehicle, aka recirculate air. these heaters should only have holes made to the outside purely for the intake and exhaust which are only for the engine to operate.

The intake is inside the van in the van step , so all is ok with the installation. The heater is installed as per manufacturers instructions.
