Eberspacher Airtronic S3 D2L Externally Mounted Diesel Heater Kit With Easystart Pro Controller For Volkswagen T5/T6

The Airtronic S3 heater is brand new for 2024 and features improved performance compared with the S2 model:

• 10% better heating performance
• 17% improved fuel efficiency
• 12% improved air flow rate
• 4% weight reduction
• 7% electrical power consumption reduction

The unit is plumbed into the vehicle’s fuel tank and uses a metering pump to draw up the fuel, requiring only a low current 12V supply to power the pump, controller and electronics. The system is very efficient, consuming a maximum of 0.27L of diesel per hour and 2.6A from your 12V leisure battery and has under-voltage protection to prevent excessive battery discharge. It can operate in temperatures as low as -40°C and at altitudes up to 3000m, thanks to automatic altitude adjustment, enabling it to work in a very wide range of environments.

This kit contains everything you need to install the S3 D2L heater to the underside of a VW T5 / T6 including Eberspacher’s new, programmable Easystart Pro controller that enables you to set heater start and stop times for automatic operation – perfect for waking up to a warm van!
