I have an 806 Hdi. Only had it a few months. Have just noticed that it has what appears to be a Webasco supplementary cooling system water pre-heater. Diesel fuelled and even has it's own exhaust! Do all Hdi Peugeot 806 engines have this as standard or have I unwittingly bought a used car with a cabin/parking heater installed as an extra?
It is installed under the bonnet on the off side just by the washer top up spout.
I think this is a aftermarket installation, (could be wrong though,) I fitted quite a few of these webascos to 7 series BMWs back in the 80s, they where computer controlled and set to warm up the inside of the car 1 hour or so before the vehicle was used, Fitzy
this is factory fitted as the hdi engine is so thermally efficient it needs help to heat such a large cabin space
