Hi all!

 

I have a '14 Superb, and I'm wondering if it is possible to retrofit the "dump" version of the PTC?

Should be possible assuming your ECU can drive the relays for it

Has it been done? Will I need to add wires from the ECU, or will these already be in my harness? What are the parts numbers for the relays?

Look at this post about cabin heating and look for wokwon's post on the 2nd page about a pdf he linked to all about these on this date 22nd January 2018   PTC Install 3T Superb

Ill try and upload it below

Another website for golfs has info as well

 

It's very unlikely the wires will be present, you'll need to add them

Thanks for your replies.

 

It seems that most people have fitted the CAN-bus version. According to 7zap my car uses a 1K0 963 235 G heater element, which is supposed to be the "dumb" version. I'm not sure if I can retrofit the CAN-bus version (that would be the 1K0 963 235 E heater, I believe), but it sure seems easier?

So no one has really retrofitted the "dumb" version?

I put the Dumb version in my Superb but really want to get round to canbus controlled 

You would not like the way I  have fitted mine I used a spare boat switch I had lying around

I want to make it "idiot-proof", so controlling it by a switch is not an option.
