webasto thermotopz auxilliary heater

[omodos]

For all you fellas n ladies out there who have one of these installed..and let me clarify this is for the Z webasto with no remote control etc or parking heater option... I had a question and answer session with webasto support, not too sure about the power from alternator point they make, i guess he meant the extra battery strain is handled by the alternator:

Dear Sir,

The heater will start after the engine is running, so it takes its power of the alternator instead of from the battery.
There is only a little bit of electricity required to start up the Thermo Top Z (fuel pump, combustion air fan and glow plug)

Best regards,

Dear Harold,

Thankyou for reply, do you know if the thermotopzstatring put's a greater strain on vehicle battery at startup of vehcile when the conditions you mention about outside temp 5c and coolant 80c is met?




Dear Mr Nicolas,

The Thermo Top Z will help heat the engine coolant when:
Engine is running, outside temperature is below 5 degrees and the coolant temperature is below 80 degrees.

This way the engine and interior will heat up quickly after the car is started.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best Regards,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Meilleures salutations,
