Webasto Air Top 2000 ST Install and Review

I removed the old Eberspacher diesel heater and replaced it with a modern Webasto, Follow along as i document some of the process and give you my thoughts on the system

Those old Eberspächer D2L 2.3kw were fitted to VW campers up till 1996 and were actually designed to mount under van/car or anything needing mounting in a harsh environment, very reliable and many still working, parts are still available on eBay, may be possible to sell on eBay and manuals are still available.

Enjoy your Webasto, my 20yr old VW T4 Westy has a Eberspächer D3L 3.5kw enough heat to cook you crispy is mounted underneath and survived many off-road camps.

Good video, there could be others contemplating a similar retro fit, many are looking at the cheap Chinese heaters, they are an exact copy of the the current D2 & D4 Eberspächer without the quality, Eberspächer started to produce some heaters in China a few years ago and the design escaped or so it goes and as Eberspächer’s patent expired not much they could do about it.

Thanks for the info in your video, it'll come in handy when I get my heater.

You said the fuel line went directly to the tank. Is it tee'd off the mainline close to the tank or ??? I was also thinking about doing an external install and placing a skid plate over it. I have a TDI Westy conversion and was looking at this unit since it run off Diesel at 22Hr per gal of fuel

Three questions about the Webasto AirTop 2000 STC
Question one: the fuses (1amp for the controller and 15amp for the heater) - on the fuse harness/plug there is a sticker that says F1 and F2. Can you tell me which fuse goes into F1 and F2?
Question two is about the two wires that come from the heater to supply power to the fuel pump, and the separate/long fuel wire with blue and brown wires - Is there a positive and negative? How do the blue or brown wires connect to the two from the heater? Are they interchangeable?
Question Three: On the main wire for the unit, one plug says potentiometer and the other says telestart. One person said the potentiometer is for the Rheostat/dial and the telestart is for the digital multicontrol. Do you know if these plugs are interchangeable? Because the way the cable is wrapped, placement would be better to use the potentiometer wire for the digital multicontrol. Thank you

Nice van! Hey I believe you'll want to run the exhaust to the side of your van. Otherwise you are dumping CO2 under your van where you sleep.
