My 2018 170 crew 4x4 had a factory installed 5kw engine heater.
I did do some searches on the forum as well as reading through the owner's manual but I'm still not completely sure on how this heater functions.
I can set it on a timer to preheat the engine. This seems to work fine. Although I'm not sure how long it is supposed to run. It does seem to turn off eventually if I don't start the van. Maybe after an hour or so.
If I start the van and drive, it switches to a booster mode? Not sure the difference. I don't believe I've had this turn off on its own. I've turned it off manually after 1.5 hours.
What determines ruin time in either mode? It's mine working properly?
Last week for a few days my heater would light up every single time I started the van. I fiddled with the manual switch on the dash a few times and finally got it to stop starting up every time.
Thanks
