A thread about parking heaters. This is a parking heater:
A tiny fuel operated heater, getting its fuel through a tiny pump attached to the gas tank and turning cold to hot water in the engine/climatic water circuit .. works independently of the car and is not to be confused with simply electric engine block heaters etc. Their electronics can access the cars climatic controls and thus heat up the entire car, timing end remote controlled etc, making it nicely toasty and melting away any snow/ice on it.
Sadly, the most known makers Webasto and Eberspächer seem not yet to provide any manuals for the garages, so most won't do the work (fearing repercussions if they made something wrong without a manual), even though it is easy to put them in (find some space in the engine compartment, cut water loop hose, attach to heater, install small tube back to the fuel tank (which needs an extra hole) and mount the pump somewhere protected below the car).
I still have these minimal hopes, that some day, a maker will provide proper manuals for the Stigner ... ah well.
