WARNING!
Hazard warning:
Incorrect installation or repair of Webasto heating systems may cause a fire or result in the
emission of carbon monoxide, which can be fatal. Serious or fatal injuries can be caused as
a result.
Specialist company training, technical documentation, specialised tools and equipment are
required to install and repair Webasto heating and cooling systems.
Only original Webasto parts must be used. For this, also see the catalog of air and water heat-
er accessories from Webasto.
NEVER attempt to install or repair Webasto heating or cooling systems if you have not
successfully completed the company training and thereby acquired the required tech-
nical skills, or if you do not have access to the required technical documentation, tools
and equipment needed to carry out correct installation and repairs.
ALWAYS follow all Webasto installation and repair instructions and observe all warnings.
The initial startup is to be executed with the Webasto Thermo Test Diagnosis. See sec-
tion "Final Work".
Webasto does not accept any liability for defects and damage that are attributable to installa-
tion by untrained staff.

The selection of the heater is based on the passenger compartment size of the vehicle and the level of
comfort required by the customer.
Foreword
This installation documentation applies to Audi A3 1.2 and 1.4 TFSI vehicles - for validity, see page 2
- from model year 2008 and later, assuming technical modifications to the vehicle do not affect instal-
lation, any liability claims excluded. Depending on the vehicle version and equipment, modifications
may be necessary during installation with respect to this installation documentation.
However, the stipulations in the "installation documentation", the "operating instructions" and "installa-
tion instructions" for the Thermo Top C/E must always be observed.
The corresponding rules of technology and any information from the vehicle manufacturer should be
observed during the installation work.
When installing an IPCU, the appropriate settings must be checked and set prior to the installation.
General Instructions
Installation should be carried out according to the general, standard rules of technology. Unless spec-
ified otherwise, fasten hoses, lines and wiring harnesses to original vehicle lines and wiring harnesses
using cable ties.
Sharp edges should be fitted with rub protection (split-open fuel hose).
Spray unfinished body areas, e.g. drilled holes, with anti-corrosion wax (Tectyl 100K, Order No. 111329).

Any coolant running off should be collected using an appropriate container. Install hoses so that they
are kink-free. Unless specified otherwise, always fasten using cable ties. Position clamps so that other
hoses cannot be damaged. The heater must be filled with coolant when installing the hoses.

WARNING!
Reassemble the disassembled components in reverse order. Check all hoses, clamps and all electrical
connections for firm seating. Secure all loose lines using cable ties.
Only use manufacturer-approved coolant. Spray the heater components with anti-corrosion wax
(Tectyl 100K, Order No. 111329).
- Connect the battery
- Fill and bleed the coolant circuit according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
- Set the digital timer.
- Make settings on A/C control panel according to the "Operating Instructions for End Cus-
tomer".
- Place the "Switch off parking heater before refueling" signboard in the area of the filler
neck

Operating Instructions for End Customer
Please remove page and add to the vehicle operating instructions.
Note:
We recommend matching the heating time to the driving time.
Heating time = driving time
Example:
For a driving time of approx. 20 min. (in one direction), we recommend not exceeding a switch-on time
of 20 min.
If the summer/winter switch option has been installed, it must be switched in accordance with the time
of year. The heater will then heat in the position Winter
and in the position Summer
it will only
switch on the vehicle fan to ventilate the vehicle interior.
Before parking the vehicle, make the following settings:
1 Set temperature to "max."
2 Air outlet to windscreen
3 Set fan to level "1", or possibly "2"
Climatic
1 Set temperature on both sides to "HI".
