Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Incorporation of high-voltage heater (PTC) - Z115- into coolant circuit
Note
In vehicles with a high-voltage system, the high-voltage
heater (PTC) -Z115- is used as a supplementary heater. |
In vehicles with a high-voltage system and an auxiliary
heater installed as optional equipment, the high-voltage heater
(PTC) -Z115- can be used for heating the passenger compartment
instead of the auxiliary heater. For additional information,
refer to
→ Auxiliary heater, supplementary heater; Rep. gr.00. |
In vehicles with a high-voltage system and without an
auxiliary heater installed as optional equipment, the passenger
compartment can be heated via the “Stationary air conditioning”
function and the - Z115- when the ignition is switched off and
at low ambient temperatures (or cooled via the air conditioning
system at high ambient temperatures). |

Coolant return to the engine |
Incorporation of auxiliary heater into coolant circuit of engine
→ Rep. gr.19 (coolant hose schematic diagram). |
Note
Depending on the engine, a valve may be installed in the coolant
return section between the coolant changeover valve 2 -N633- and the
engine. The valve prevents coolant from flowing from the engine to the
-N633- when the engine is running
→ Rep. gr.19 (coolant hose schematic diagram). |

Coolant changeover valve 2 -N633- |
Incorporation of auxiliary heater into coolant circuit of engine
→ Rep. gr.19 (coolant hose schematic diagram). |
Removing and installing
→ Rep. gr.19. |
Note
The -N633- is activated by the respective engine control unit (e.g.
by engine control unit -J623-), if heat output is required from the air
conditioning system and if the vehicles is in electric drive mode
→ Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations and
vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided fault finding” mode. |
If there are customer complaints about poor heat output of the air
conditioning system when engine is running and/or at standstill
(irrespective of whether -Z115- is activated or not), make sure the
coolant changeover valve 2 is installed with correct orientation and
that it works properly → Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations and
vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided fault finding” mode. |
To ensure that the coolant heated by the -Z115- is conveyed through
the heat exchanger of heater and air conditioning unit, the coolant pump
for high-temperature circuit -V467- and the coolant valve for gearbox
-N488- must be activated as well (by the respective engine control
unit). To ensure that the coolant flows into the correct direction, the
non-return valves installed in the coolant circuit must be installed
correctly and they must work properly. For additional information refer
to
→ Rep. gr.19 (coolant hose schematic diagram); vehicle
diagnostic tester in “Guided fault finding” mode and
→ Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations. |
