Note

There are different designs and makes of heater. The individual components of the various heaters are similar but not identical. The combined fitting of different makes of component is therefore not permissible → Electronic Parts Catalogue.

The following illustrations show a “Valeo” heater unit. For information on distinguishing features with respect to other makes refer to → Chapter.

The figures show a left-hand drive vehicle. The procedure is analogous.
