i bought the squarish one on the right, it's a 1500W model. i'm gona try and install in under the baterry place, somewhere inside the left fender.
that plastic black panel only protects the wires, nothing else. u can fix it for dirt really. either apply some hi temp silicone around the cracked cover or get yourself some of thisGuyGuy said:
the plastic back panel on the right one was cracked in a couple of places, i tried to repaire it with zip ties but it was hopeless.
Guy, the 8000 cannot be used as it has a check valve. The 41 is available in 750W, 1000W and 1500W. Pretty easy to install except on an A3 TDI with A/C.GuyGuy said:

Sure it can. The check valve is easlily removed with a screwdriver in about 3 seconds. See post #90 above.dieselvet said:Guy, the 8000 cannot be used as it has a check valve. The 41 is available in 750W, 1000W and 1500W. Pretty easy to install except on an A3 TDI with A/C.
Sounds good, nice pictures, I always bought the 41's, didn't know the check valves were easily removable on the others. You live and learn. Thanks.Wingnut said:Sure it can. The check valve is easlily removed with a screwdriver in about 3 seconds. See post #90 above.
Thanks, I plugged my 1500w zerostart today to test it out. The snow on the hood/bonnet started to melt and the gp light went out pretty fast!kingkos said:i've only really used mine a couple times, and that was mostly just to test it out. So far it really hasnt been cold enough. Once the overnight temps drop below -5C or maybe -10C, then i will start using it.

That's exactly what I did just yesterday on mine. I didn't get the part number of the hose from CT, but all I did was go in and ask for a length of 5/8" hose. That's with the 8000 series, I mounted it underneath the battery, but a little farther away from the drivers side so the original hose would reach the top of the heater. Works great, and no extra connectors.Wingnut said:I did an install a couple of weeks ago and only needed a short section of 5/8 inch hose. The upper hose came offf the cooler and went straight onto the top of the heater. Then an 8" or so piece of hose to connect the the bottom of the cooler to the bottom of the heater. Quite simple and only a bit of 5/8 " hose from can tire, no special parts or bends required.
