Connecting an independent heater to a car without a check valve
"Arrows" indicate the coolant flow direction. When the coolant supply shut-off valve "N279" receives control signals (e.g., in autonomous heating mode). When the coolant is not warmed up and the ignition is off, the coolant is sucked in by the circulation pump "V55" directly from the air conditioning system heat exchanger.
1. Autonomous heater.
2. Reverse flow of coolant to the engine.
3. Heater coolant supply shut-off valve "N279": controlled in the independent heater mode of the auxiliary heater "J364"; check the connection of the main lines; different designs, pay attention to the correct match.
4. Heat exchanger climate control installations.
5. Coolant flow from the engine.
6. Circulation pump "V55": the circulation pump "V55" is connected to the hose piping of the independent heater.
Connecting an independent heater to a car with a check valve
1. Autonomous heater.
2. Heater coolant supply shut-off valve "N279": in the autonomous heating mode, the used additional heater "J364" is controlled; check the connection of the main lines; different designs (on Audi A5 Coupe, Audi A4 and Audi 05), pay attention to the correct match.

5. Coolant flow from the engine.
6. Circulation pump "V55": the circulation pump "V55" is connected to the hose piping of the independent heater.
7. Check valve: a smaller diameter element for throttling the flow of liquid; installation location depending on the engine, in the water drainage box or motor. compartment.

Removal and installation of the circulation pump "V55"
The cooling system is under pressure. Ignition is off. Relieve pressure in the coolant circuit by opening the expansion tank cap. system tank. cooling. Remove the front right wheel. Remove the front right fender liner. Clamp coolant hoses "6" and "8" (e.g. with clamps up to 25 mm in diameter "3094"). Loosen clamping clamps "5". Disconnect coolant hose "6" from circulation pump "V55" "2". Loosen screw "3" and remove clamp "7". Remove circulation pump "V55" "2" from coolant hose "4". Disconnect electrical connector "1" from circulation pump "V55" and remove the circulation pump.

Installation
Installation in reverse order. The new circulation pump - V55- with an empty coolant circuit can only be switched on after filling the coolant circuit, since running the new pump dry can lead to its failure. Since little coolant flows out during the above-described removal of the "V55" circulation pump, the liquid after removing the clamps from the hoses (add. remove the expansion tank cap) it enters the circulation pump - V55 - quickly, so there is no risk of damaging it. Connect the electrical connector to the V55 circulation pump only after removing the hose clamps (and filling the coolant circuit). Remove air from the coolant recirculation circuit.
