  Note
t  For fitting locations of the various auxiliary heater relays and fuses, refer to → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
t  Auxiliary heater guided fault-finding procedure → Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051/, “Guided fault-finding function”.
t  Perform auxiliary heater guided fault-finding by way of the “Guided fault-finding” function, e.g. with the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051/- or the vehicle diagnostic and service information system -VAS 5052- → Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051/, “Guided fault-finding” function.
t  Auxiliary heater guided fault-finding can only be started with the ignition switched on (the data bus diagnostic interface -J533- is only active when the ignition is on). Once the auxiliary heater has switched to diagnosis mode, auxiliary heater guided fault-finding can be continued even with the ignition switched off.
t  There are different versions of the auxiliary heater (the Audi Q5 is not to be fitted with auxiliary heaters with part number 8K0.xxx.xxx). On auxiliary heater replacement, pay attention to the exact assignment → Chapter and → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  As of 10.2010 auxiliary heaters with part number 4xx xxx  xxx are gradually to be introduced. Service installation of this version of the auxiliary heater is also possible in vehicles originally fitted with an auxiliary heater with part number 8R0 xxx xxx or 8K0 xxx xxx. As however there are differences between certain components of the various auxiliary heater versions (e.g. the 2-pin connector for the power supply to the auxiliary heater control unit -J364-), attention must be paid to correct assignment when replacing individual components of the auxiliary heater → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  If an auxiliary heater with part number 4xx xxx  xxx is fitted, attention must also be paid with this version to correct encoding for the vehicle concerned (different functions are stored in the control unit depending on the type of vehicle encoded) → Electronic parts catalogue and → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
t  If the auxiliary heater is to be replaced, interrogate the encoding and adaption of the supplementary heater control unit -J364- by way of the “Control unit replacement” function of the guided fault-finding routine prior to removal (the supplementary heater control unit -J364- is installed in the heater) → Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051/, “Guided fault-finding” function.
t  If, depending on the version of the supplementary heater control unit -J364-, the auxiliary heater cannot be activated on a new vehicle or in the case of a newly installed auxiliary heater, the component protection function may be active (if a large number of faults occurred simultaneously prior to initial commissioning, e.g. at the factory, this fault may no longer be displayed although it is still active). If necessary, perform re-adaption of the component protection function as for a newly installed auxiliary heater to cancel component protection → Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051/, “Guided fault-finding function”.
t  The following illustration shows the positions of the components on an Audi A5 Coupé. The layout differs slightly on the Audi A4 and Audi Q5. Unless otherwise indicated, the components are however to be removed and installed in the same manner as described for the Audi A5 Coupé.

t  The Audi A5 Coupé and the Audi A4 as of Model Year 2009 are gradually being fitted with modified auxiliary heaters with an adapted supplementary heater control unit -J364- (these were installed on the Audi Q5 right from the start of production). Pay attention to correct assignment of these components to the vehicle → Electronic parts catalogue and → Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051/, “Guided fault-finding function”.
t  This auxiliary heater is installed in various vehicle models. The part number changes each time this auxiliary heater is fitted in a new vehicle model (e.g. from 8K0 xxx xxx to 8R0 xxx xxx on introduction of the Audi Q5 and subsequently to 4xx xxx xxx etc.). Attention must therefore be paid to correct assignment. Care must however also be taken to ensure that an old auxiliary heater version is never installed in a vehicle previously fitted with a newer version. For example, an Audi A4 provided at the factory with an auxiliary heater with part number 8R0 xxx xxx is not to be fitted with an auxiliary heater with part number 8K0 xxx xxx → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  As of 10.2010 auxiliary heaters with part number 4xx xxx  xxx are gradually to be introduced. Service installation of this version of the auxiliary heater is also possible in vehicles originally fitted with an auxiliary heater with part number 8R0 xxx xxx or 8K0 xxx xxx. As however there are differences between certain components of the various auxiliary heater versions (e.g. the 2-pin connector for the power supply to the auxiliary heater control unit -J364-), attention must be paid to correct assignment when replacing individual components of the auxiliary heater → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  If an auxiliary heater with part number 4xx xxx  xxx is fitted, attention must also be paid with this version to correct encoding for the vehicle concerned and the remote control hand transmitter provided (no display at present). Different functions are stored in the control unit depending on the type of vehicle encoded → Electronic parts catalogue and → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
t  The holders for the auxiliary heater were gradually modified on the Audi Q5 in Model Year 2009. Pay attention to the correct assignment when replacing the auxiliary heater and holders → Electronic parts catalogue and → Anchor.
t  As of Model Year 2010 a start/stop system will be available as an optional extra for this vehicle in conjunction with certain engines.
