Guest WALFY Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Can anyone tell me where the water to feed the heater comes from and where it returns back into the system. Will be running it on a S3. I had heard that the take off is on the rear N/S of the block. Anyone confirm/deny that. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I used to have a old ex marines lightweight (well, a rolling chassis and some bodywork!) but it had the arctic heater, i recall there was a HUGE union bolted to the block that had something like an 1" or 1 1/4" pipe coming out of it to feed the heater. somewhere i might have the parts listing for it, i'll take a gander.

Thanks in advance Some years ago i stripped out the arctic heater from an arctizised S3 12 seater that was ex navy, one connection was a black iron barrel nipple screwed into the imersion heater port on the block, back left side. the other port was created by an extra lower thermo housing fitted upside down below the normal lower housing(longer bypass hose), the heater hose went onto the upstanding stub.

Guest WALFY Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Is that the heater union that goes into the rear of the block? If it is I'd be interested. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks it's the one that goes into the top of the cylinder head at the rear nearside, removed from a 2.25 Petrol engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
