Fuel Burning Heater for Petrol
Just wondering if somebody could tell me if the petrol varients of the D3 are fitted with or can be fitted with the Webasto heater?
Cheers

Petrol D3's are not fitted with a FBH.
Why would you want to fit one to a petrol?

I've been wondering the same. Several pro's to having a fbh:
- ice has melted off the windows when you get to your car, no need to go clean
- cabin is nice and warm when you get in
As to the 'warm within a mile': takes about 3 miles to get a bit warmer than 'cold' and heated seats take a minute or two to really start baking your bum as well...
And by the way seeing what some amongst us have installed in their cars, I'm surprised no-one has posted a 'been there, done that' or 'look in my gallery' yet.

folks like Webasto/eberspatcher do fuel burning heaters in both diesel and petrol format (for trucks/boats/etc)
have a look at their websites.

Sound's like a recipe for a big bang IMHO... I would be happier fitting a diesel FBH and its own small fuel tank - that is what I have on my (petrol) boat.Cheers

I''d like something to warm up the interior...
Winter was fun for a while, but it's dragging on a bit now (and yes, that's 11.2mpg)

I'd think an electric radiator/engine block heater might do the trick on the petrol (okay at -24 degrees might need an insulated blanket on the bonnet/hood). Not something we need here (forecast temp next week > 40C).Jim Dowell - D4 HSE TDi, 12,000 hydraulic winch & hidden winch mount, MTRs, TyreDog, Traxide 2 x aux battery system, fixed air compressor, Dolium roof rack, MitchHitch.

D3 FBH does not do this. Buy a FFRR it does

I'm sure a petrol FBH will, sooner or later, warm the interior of the D3 it is attached too Cheers

Okay Gents - thanks for the information - so not as a standard might be something that Webasto etc could fit aftermarket
