Subject:      Eberspacher diesel heater - what's missing?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi all. I recently found an older Eberspacher diesel heater at a local
junkyard - it was mounted in the cab of a big Iveco diesel. Most everything
was there - heater, electronic control unit, wall thermostat, fuel pump,
fuel lines, fuel tank pick-up, intake and exhaust tubing, etc. I think it's
a D1L - the ECU label says it is for D/B-1/2/3-L. However, someone did get
to the heater before me, so unfortunately some parts are missing... on the
heater unit itself, something has been removed that bolts on at the round
end - see picture:

Does anyone know what it is? Or better yet have a picture of what this unit
should look like when complete? I did find a blower motor sitting in the cab
of a nearby pickup truck which looks suspiciously like it may be part of the
heater, but I'm not really sure:

Also, does anyone have any idea where to obtain parts/service/advice for
these heaters? According to the Espar website, the nearest service center is
in Massachusetts.

Thanks!
