Final iteration for the winter.

 

Main changes

 

- Lower thermal mass of heater matrix allows the heater to respond more quickly when temperature is adjusted

- 600 g weight loss compared to earlier versions

- higher fin density for greater heat transfer

- lower profile to aid ease of fitting

 

Features over OEM heater

 

- Increased airflow (measured at 170 % of OEM), for more rapid screen clearing and quieter lower speeds

- Fully sealed construction

- Significant increase in heat output

- Fully power coated and galvanised with stainless steel fixings

- Replaced cable control with electronic, preventing stuck or stiff controls.

- 50 Watt resistors for lower fan speeds prevent resistor burnout leading to loss of low speeds.

- Retains MK2.5 improvements with fully encapsulated electronic control unit and connector on cabin control for installation flexibility.

- Provided with neoprene air ducting to replace aluminium duct (better insulation and durability).

Are you making anymore of theses 2.6 versions.

[PHB1969]

Approx how long does it take to fit one?

[rob999]

Fez..you are like the Pagani of VX heaters!

[fezzasus]

For me, about two hours. If you're doing it for the first time half a day to a day.

They will all be MK2.6 going forward, however I don't know how many that will be. I have a limited supply of fans and will not be buying more.

How is the cold setting for fresh air ib the Summer and do they leak hot air like OEM one?

cold is cold, it stops the water from flowing through the radiator rather than using a flap to control the air. They don't leak hot air.

Can't wait for mine to come. I could see my nipples through my jumper this morning.

3 hours in the rain in the car yesterday and it was freezing, not with the fez though. I kept making minute changes to the temp dial to be just perfect

 

its almost climate control (an easy upgrade for you do Tom)

[fezzasus]

Well, 50 % climate control. I did think about doing it actually, since the system is a PWM it's just a case of using a thermistor and bias pot in place of the current pot.

You should choose your attire more carefully in future

 

[MrGman]

How many of these do you plan on having available over the next few months or so? 

[fezzasus]

I've just put an order in for another batch of 20 of the laser cut aluminium brackets, so 20.

[ollie2007]
