You would think it would be easy these days to allow all options for all markets unless the RHD/LHD position of components precluded it - that way everyone would be happy and manufacturers would probably be able to sell more options - if not cars.

Alecdan - love the reflections of the trees on your Yeti in the photo with the pretend fox in it!

See - another member of the panoramic sunroof appreciation society - I like mine for aircraft spotting....

Actually due to the sunroof I developed a habit: (not sure is a good one) - I'm driving the car at intersections with traffic lights much closer towards the intersection and I check for turning the green light through the roof! (all of the passengers too!) The "others" cannot do that ... "look mama, there's no clouds in the sky!"

Let your best dreams come true!

Regarding auxiliary heater, it seems to be the same issue for Octavia.

I bought my Octavia last year in June, it was ordered in March. Webasto ThermoTopV was one of many options I could not resist.

Last month the aux heater has been used almost dayly. Ext temp ranging from 0 to -17 Celcius.

Got an offer from the local Skoda dealer for a telestart kit. Almost fell off my chair reading the price, converted to euro: 1.300,00 !!! And this is a special campaign price standing for the next 3 months.

The kit I was offered is the Telestart T90. The kit is called T90 retrofit kit for Skoda Octavia II. I am not sure, but I think the T91 is only a newer version.

The dealer also sent me the installation guide for the T90. It looks pretty easy to install the kit.

Will check with another garage, with good VAG qualifications, whether a T91/T100 kit bought from ie eBay can be installed in my Octavia. I guess if retrofitting Telestart can be done in Octavias, it can also be done in Yetis and vice versa.

Is there any chance you have the installation guides in English (digital format)? It could be useful for me too...

Thanks

I wish i had a webasto heater this winter! Why it should not be interesting for Britain?

Is it to do with rhd cars? Or skoda uk decided on our behalf that it was not worthed?

Is the FBH in the Yeti the same/similar to the one fitted to some diesel Freelanders? If it is then someone on LRuk has devised a remote control system using some cheap bits from Maplins.

PM me with your e-mail address, and you will have the installation guide in PDF. And of course I have translated it to english

Now looking at one of the Webasto Telestart T100 kits at ebay.de. But I don't know whether Skodas with factoryfitted heaters needs some proprietary telestart kits or not?

If not, I will buy a kit at ebay, install the kit myself and then find a VAG-garage to do the final programming.

As for myself I am going to check this with the Skoda dealer and Webasto representative first (they might have experienced installing these before and can give a hint). I'm not so technical myself ... but as JonA said it shouldn't be any problem with the original kit of Webasto's.

Actually I think they are similar - it's only Webasto ThermoTopV that some Freelanders are equipped with.

Thank you for NorSkodian are sending installing manual for T91.

Now I have installed the equipment in T91 TeleStart the year 2010 according to Octavian.

Installation went OK and the remote control will connected to telecommunications, lights, flashing light signals etc. Ok, but does not start webasto.

Does the system programmed to the car I do not know yet ...?

I think one of theese will work with the Yeti's Webasto heater: Telestart Webasto T91 ebay

General Telestart Webasto T91 works Octavia model year 2010 with factory fitted Webasto.

Installation instructions ...(Thank you for NorSkodian)

http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ilkmaat/skoda/Webasto-Telestart-T90-Octavia-InstallationGuide.pdf

... Accordingly.

Are also needed ...

Approximately 5-m 0.5 mm2 cable.

Webasto-microtimer contact connector

Contact-fuse box

They can make wire Webasto T91 Series cables / connectors using.

Remote control coding instructions Webasto and, finally, the car's computer coding -> describes the remote operation, Skoda service can be done, but possibly also VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System).

Work a little but it is worth ....

Price of around 150-250 euros, depending on the Telestart price.

Hi

I want to install a Remote Control Kit in my Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI 2009, but are unsure of what kit that fits my car. I have a factory-fitted parking heater: Webasto Thermo Top V 5 kw.

According to the Skoda dealer the part number BHW000005 (Webasto part num: WEB9014404B) fits my car. This is a T90 kit with remote control, receiver and the necessary wiring. There is also a kit containing the T91 remote control that is specific for the Octavia / Yeti (Webasto part num: WEB1314583A).

The Skoda importer in Norway said that it is not possible to use Defa SmartStart, which provides 12 V to the parking heater. This is because the car communicates with the parking heater using CANBUS. I understand that my parking heater need a receiver unit that communicates with the parking heater using the w-bus, like both the T90 and T91 do.

I wonder therefore if it is possible to use a general T90/T91/T100HTM kit. Why is it a separate part number for Skoda Octavia II at Webasto? Is it because of the Skoda logo on the remote control, or has it something with how the receiving device communicates with the parking heater? Can I have a problem to get the Webasto to start the ventilation system in the car if I do not use the specified Skoda part?

See what "Jkuisma" writes about the "VW-specific dialect of the w-bus protocol" in this post

True. It appears to be very simple at first sight. The wire to Webasto is not, however, of the standard +12V signalling type. It communicates 2-way with the Webasto using a protocol called W-Bus. Unfortunately, as I've found out, it uses a VW-specific "dialect" of the protocol. In practice, this means that the only remote you could install here is a VW OEM Telestart T90 device. it does not (as it seems) have to be from a Phaeton, but no other Telestart than T90 with VAG logos does to job. You can source this remote+receiver from German eBay for around 200 euros.

Prices of these kits are much higher at the Skoda dealer than Webasto, so I wonder if there are multiple sets that fits my car?

I have looked at the PDF which is attached to this thread, and it describes very well what must be done to mount the T90 kit:)

I hope some of you have knowledge of this, so I can get the pleasure of warming up the car with the touch of a button on the remote control ...

Best regards

Thomas

Telestart T91 works, T100 is not because the car can not pass at the time.

Why is it a separate part number for Skoda Octavia II at Webasto?

Marketing thing .... I think.

Can I have a problem to get the Webasto to start the ventilation system in the car if I do not use the specified Skoda part?

You mean ventilation?

It does not work in the general exchange of Webasto T91, but if the car (MDF), also starts to change the settings.

This is so for the 2010 diesel Octavia.

What problems will occure with the T100?

Do you have any partnumbers for a working kit? Do I need at VAG-specific kit, or will every kit work?

What I ment was to start the blower motor in the cabin, to distribute hot air from the heater.

By the way - is it much work to remove the bumper to get access to the heater? Do you have any instructions on how to do that? Is it really necessary?

I have not tried but Webasto dealer said that work.

I have a general Webasto T91 series.

I removed the headlights and its mounting base and fog light.

Then, the yellow wire is installed webasto quite well.

Bumber need not be removed.

There's a few pictures ....

Hi everyone,

First post:)

I have bought a 2011 Octavia with webasto, want to retrofit the remote control, and have ordered and recieved the following kit from carsystems.pl http://www.carsystems.pl/skoda-webasto-telestart-t91r-kit-digital,id109.html

Anyone here installed this kit? In this kit there are 6 wires tied together in one harness, i find that kind of strange if only one of them are to be connected to the webasto?

Hope some of you experienced Skoda owners are able to clarify this for me

Power, ground, WBUS to webasto and the two CAN-BUS wires (CANL-INF and CANH-INF) to the car electronics. In some installations the CAN-BUS wires are not connected.

Anyone has detalied info of where each wire will go, i belive there are the colors, Red.Black,Green,Orange,White,Brown in the harness from the T91 box.

I have seen the installation instruction for the original T90 kit for Octavia II from 2005. This kit only describes 3 wires, a Yellow one connected to the WBUS on webasto, and power in connected to Red and Brown over a separate fuse holder, are there none spare fuses in the Octavia fusebox?

If someone who has installed this kit on an Octavia Facelift could give me a few tips it would be much appreciated.

If you post the engine code and the year/month of your car, I will check if the factory install is 3 or 5 wires and where the power is taken from.

That would have been fantastic, i am at work right now and have not access to the car, but i find the following information online, is that enough?

It was delivered in Norway May 2011, but i assume you need the production month?

I have everything I need to look it up.

I suggest you edit your post to remove the VIN/ChassisNumber

You only need to connect three wires.

Pin 1 - The power is taken from fuse 16 which also feeds the a/c control unit and climatronic. There is no need to change the fuse value.

Pin 2 - WBUS to Webasto (Pin 2 on the 8-pin connector)

Pin 6 - Ground.

I would remove the other wires from the connector to prevent any kind of interferance.

In the servicemanual the engine code is CFHC, does the extra C alter anything?

Yes, the 'C' designates that it is the 103kW variant of the CFH engine, which I knew from the data you supplied.

I'm impressed. Will try to install the kit in the weekend, thanks again for all help:)
