I have an eberspacher D2 and a much older B4 unit (both air heaters, not water)

On the older B4, there's 4 parts - the burner, the control unit, thermostat, and pump.  The pump is just a generic diaphragm pump, the thermostat just a thermostat, but the control unit and the burner itself are eberspacher only.

On the newer D2 unit, there are 3 parts - the burner, which has the control inside it, the pump, which is an eberspacher only part, and the 'interface box' part, with a little LCD on it.  The 'interface box' is nothing special though - its an eberspacher part, but it could just be replaced with a switch or a stock thermostat, but the other parts are required / eberspacher only.


This may give some minor insight to whats needed on the similar units.
What are you like with the wiring on the Eberspachers Julian?, i was going to start another thread later with some questions

Been trying to find out about what's fitted to the Galaxy but it's a little unclear.

It looks like they have the Esparcher air heater, do they also have a coolant heater as well?

Rover 75 looks like a good bet as does the Skoda Fabio/Octavia II for having a "parking heater" fitted as an option - see here:

I tend to forget things that i probably wont need again.

Most of what i did know was either from my landrover club (the B4 was fitted to the 101 forward control ambulance) or from my local (at the time) eberspacher service agent.  They (colchester fuel injection) were real helpful with the D2 unit.

I may still know something of value to you, but, if its a case of "do i cut the red wire or the blue wire!!", then its doubtful...

I will have some pdfs somwhere though, but not all units seem to match up with the pdfs with regard to the looms (my D2 does not, and other people's dont seem to either)

No air heaters on the Mk1 and 2 at least.. or the Sharan Mk1 and 2. Only the coolant heater fitted just in front of the N/S rear wheel, intake goes into the N/S inner sill and exhaust under the rear susp wishbone. (Eber I am fairly certain too)
 Some rare versions have a control unit up by the front courtesy light that you can set the heater going before starting the engine, most including the Ghia X I have just come on if ambient is below 5c and the engine below 70c, needs both of these to run and the engine running.   The MK2 runs when ambient below 10c and engine 70c.
