Re: [T3] What's this?

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Eberspacher petrol (gas) heaters were usually fitted to cars for countries
with very cold conditions, Canada, Sweden etc, though not as often to Type
3s as Type 4s due to the better exhaust-type heating on Type 3s.   In fact,
there is an embossed code on the Type 3 chassis plate on the front cross
panel which permits the vehicle to be fitted with the heater.
There are websites detailing info about these.

I think it's a BN2 in US-speak but might be wrong about that.  They are
complex things, and many parts are tricky or expensive.  Unless badly
rusted, it should be possible to get it working, though access is pretty
tricky!  I wouldn't advise trying unless you check the fuel lines at least.

I have an overhaul article written by a club member some time ago, based on
the Type 4 unit.  I'll send a .txt copy if you like.
