BMW E46 Diesel ---- 12v electric booster heater NOT the fuel burning Webasto
Anybody had any dealings with these ? --- owner complains engine temperature drops rapidly when stopped in traffic with the interior heat on --- not the thermostat it has been changed and the top hose is stone cold, these diesels are notorious for running cold at idle so on some cars BMW fitted a 12v immersion heater in the heater plumbing. Other than checking the radiator temp I haven't looked at it yet.
