With a parking heater, you can warm up the interior of your vehicle at a chosen time. For example, you can choose to switch the heater on a few minutes before departure. The heater uses a small amount of fuel from the car and the cold air from the interior to start a combustion reaction. This releases warm air, which then flows into the car. This not only ensures a pre-heated car but also prevents the windows from fogging up.
The parking heater also helps to pre-heat the car engine. The warm air that the heater produces also heats the coolant. This ensures that the car engine warms up faster. As a result, the engine is less stressed, which extends its lifespan.
Parking heater fault
A defective parking heater does not affect the operation of the car. However, it is very annoying. You can no longer pre-heat the car, and it takes longer for the interior to warm up. A defect can occur by driving with the parking heater still on. This can cause damage to the wiring or to the component itself. Therefore, make sure you always switch off the parking heater before you leave.
Installing a parking heater
Installing a parking heater is a technical and complicated job. If you have some technical knowledge or experience with car maintenance, you can install this part yourself. You will need to reroute various electrical cables and the fuel line must be branched off. Keep in mind that the exact way to install this part can vary depending on the make and model of the car.
Would you rather leave this job to a specialist? Then order a parking heater at a competitive price at Winparts and take it to the garage. Car parts cost considerably more at a garage than when you order them online. You are therefore better off purchasing the part yourself. You then only have to pay the installation costs.
