Eberspacher AS3 D2L External Camper Van Diesel Heater Kit – VW Transporter T5/T6
The Eberspacher Airtronic S3 D2L diesel powered blown air heater is the ideal solution for fast, efficient and quiet heating of the inside of your Volkswagen T5 or T6, ensuring it’s toasty warm, whatever the weather. No more needing to turn the vehicle’s engine on and waiting for it to warm up; you can now have instant hot air at the touch of a button using this standalone heating system, perfect for recovering after outdoor activities and water sports, and providing year-round comfort in your van.
The Airtronic S3 heater is brand new for 2024 and features improved performance compared with the S2 model:
- 10% better heating performance
- 17% improved fuel efficiency
- 12% improved air flow rate
- 4% weight reduction
- 7% electrical power consumption reduction
The unit is plumbed into the vehicle’s fuel tank and uses a metering pump to draw up the fuel, requiring only a low current 12V supply to power the pump, controller and electronics. The system is very efficient, consuming a maximum of 0.27L of diesel per hour and 2.6A from your 12V leisure battery and has under-voltage protection to prevent excessive battery discharge. It can operate in temperatures as low as -40°C and at altitudes up to 3000m, thanks to automatic altitude adjustment, enabling it to work in a very wide range of environments.
This kit contains everything you need to install the S3 D2L heater to the underside of a VW T5 / T6 including Eberspacher’s new, programmable Easystart Pro controller that enables you to set heater start and stop times for automatic operation – perfect for waking up to a warm van!
