can someone please explain the auxiliary heating system in the van
I got the basics at hand over but the salesman didn't know to much
I want to know how to get all the radiators warm under the floor and seats etc

Do you have Alde heating? If yes then the radiators and underfloor space should just be off the standard heating setting.

Are you referring to the heat exchanger that uses the heat generated by the engine (when traveling) to heat the living space?

thanks for the replies Yes im referring to the heat exchanger
do you need to put the orange switch on beside the heating control panel to work the auxiliary pump?

Ah I could tell you how to do it on our N+B but your Burstner will be different for sure.

Well just in case it helps and the adverts are on we have a heat exchanger with a valve on it so the first thing is to make sure it open then we just switch on the heating without gas or electric but the pump running controlled by the thermostat and then set the thermostat.

OK we do also have an auxiliary pump but that is for running the engine water around the heat exchanger to heat the engine from the heating system.

As I say though yours could be different in detail rather than principal.

Ours is the same as described above. The switch with the orange light switches on the aux pump to pre-warm the engine from the residual heat in the habitation system. I've never used this function but would do if I was in the Alps in the winter.
