VW electric coolant heater
HI,
Does anyone have the LIN control signals for the VW / Audi GTE Etron coolant heater.

I got it working and posted my results in the VW A/C Compressor tread.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
I found the correct cable for HV is 3Q0971475 or 5Q0971475. The point is to use the side with a single indent, the other side i intend to cut and fit solar connectors.
LV connector looks like it is Webasto 1J0973714 8P type? Anyone has more data?

Also i found a video explanation about LIN bus
https://www.csselectronics.com/pages/li ... tro-basics
Is there a way to sense temperature from LIN bus? I would like to read LIN bus for temperature and reduce power at 50deg and shutoff power for 55deg.

Can you post here what speed and period did you use with your LIN protocol for the VW heater?
I have tried to get LIN data from the heater but i couldnt get response from it. I am using Microchip LIN Serial Analyzer.
It is true i havent yet connected heater to HV because i need to connect water hoses and pump to have a cooled system.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
Hi, does anybody know if this heater works above 400v? ~425-430V would be ideal

Re: VW electric coolant heater
This is the manufacturer. On the picture it looks a bit different than the VW part, but the voltage is given as 450V

Re: VW electric coolant heater
Thanks, there are no part numbers listed anywhere. Would this heater from VW e-UP/e-Golf would be from the same family and work with the same code?

Re: VW electric coolant heater
The Eberspächer heater is installed in my e-Golf. The LV plug is 8 pin. Pin 1 = Red/White, Pin 2 = Brown, Pin 4 = Violet/Yellow, Pin 5 = Green/Violet, Pin 7 = Black/Green. The rest is unoccupied.
The connector appears to be the same as the DBK, but the pinout is definitely different.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
Hi, I have a DBK and Ebersprächer heaters side by side here and the pin locations and pin count is the same - both have 5 pins on the LV connector. Did your DBK only had 3 pins or the rest are not used?muehlpower wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 2:52 pm The Eberspächer heater is installed in my e-Golf. The LV plug is 8 pin.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
VAG DBK heater Pin1 = 12V, Pin2 = GND, Pin4 = LIN
VAG AC Kompressor Pin2 = LIN, Pin5 = GND, Pin8 = 12V (same connector, different pins)
Eberspächer heater Pin 1 = Red/White, Pin 2 = Brown, Pin 4 = Violet/Yellow, (Pin 5 = Green/Violet, Pin 7 = Black/Green)
Pin2 = Brown = GND -> OK
Pin1 = Red/White = 12V -> probably
Pin4 = Violet/Yellow = LIN -> possible
my DBK also has 5 pins, only 3 are occupied.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
muehlpower, thank you for all your work on this.
Seeing the spec of the heater being upto 5/7kW. The LIN control message only has on byte for power level request, this means we can only request 2.5kW. Has anyone been able to get more out of the heater then the 2.5kW.
Is it possible that Byte one contains more then just the on off bit to allow "boosting" of the power.

i think there has been an error in the wiki. meuhlpowers post says "Byte 0 is power. 13 for 770W, 26 for 1540W"
this equates to 60w per bit. so value of 100 would equal 6kw.
when i decoded the can messages from the receive side it was in amps. value of 100 = 25amps at 350v = 8.75kw
so you should be able to get full output from this. i will try run a test this weekend to confirm.
Best Regards
Mayur

Re: VW electric coolant heater
I updated this yesterday, power is in % 0-100, any value above it shuts down. I updated the Wiki.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
I'm confused. have you sent an output of 100% to your heater and only got an output of 2.5kw ? if so can i ask what voltage you where running the heater at ? as it does have a recommended power range.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
Before the wiki said it was a power request in Watts and not %.
The requested 100% resulted in 13.5A draw at +/-365V or 5kW draw. So this is good and is as per expectation.
Also confirmed the heater self regulates if it gets too hot, the test setup was not bled properly. I did not create it I just made the software to run it.

Re: VW electric coolant heater
Hi, looks like the coolant to heater is the lower pipe and heater to heater matrix is normally the top, depending on which way you heater is mounted. this is the diagrams from a e-golf and golf gte
