Paul I think I have the wiring diagrams as I have one too which I am hoping to fit at some stage, I will try and find them and get them over to you.
Look to me like your missing the exhaust pipe, inlet pipe, thermostat control cable and re-circleating air vent and cover that fix's the snorkel in place. Other than that it look pretty complete. The only way you will get the re-cycleating part to work is if you mount it where its designed and if you do this, there will be no space for another battery as the exhaust and inlet pipe vent though that panel.

that would be lucky if you did Icepug! part number is 411 963 107C http://www.germansupply.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=16602&cat=376&page=5 not in stock though
We can get that part number from VW Classic Parts in Germany, It is NOS, but comes in at £128.59 I know its not cheap but it is brand new from VW.
Just done a "Bench test" of my Eberspacher BN4 petrol heater prior to installation. Ran it for quite a long while to fully test the system in a safe environment. There's no control wire for the thermostat, but it's stuck in a position which safely cuts out. It can be adjusted at a later date for fine tuning. I first calibrated the fuel metering pump to give the recommended 13-15ml per 200 "clicks". No fuel leaks and the hot air has no smell of fuel or fumes. The exhaust is also nice and clean. Fuel economy by stopwatch and calibrated measure was about 0.55lt per hour - ie around 70p per hour.
Just trying to source an exhaust, and there's various "suitable for Eberspacher" stainless steel hoses on eBay. But they all seem to be in the range 22-24mm and my unit has an exhaust diameter of 42mm. What's the best solution??
Buy a bigger pipe.... You might get away with a reducer to drop it to 24mm but it really depends if your exhaust for it was 42mm straight through, or whether it went into a silencer first, and was then reduced to a smaller size!!
Try this. I think it's the ID your after but best to phone them & confirm.....Paul has a point, sometimes there would have been a silencer box. http://sales.butlertechnik.com/exha...-or-webasto-exhaust-pipe-40mm-36061381-371394
Good point! At first, I'd have been nervous of reducing a 42mm exhaust flange to 22mm (back pressure). But thinking about it, the engine uses fuel at a far greater rate and the exhaust tailpipe is no larger. The bench test showed the exhaust to be very quiet, so I won't bother with a silencer, just need to find a reducer now
Mine has 22mm exhaust but I wouldn't describe it as quiet! Maybe once you reduce it your's will get noisier? Plenty of room for the battery if the wheel well's gone + on an early early there's just one panel above the wheel tub and you're into the rear. Since the picture I fiited an oil filter under the battery tray and span the battery round 90 degs to make more room for the pipework.
