DEFA Engine Heater Installation for SEAT Cars in Espoo

DEFA Engine Heater Installation for SEAT Cars in Espoo

Winter conditions in Finland require reliable solutions for engine starting at low temperatures. One such solution is the installation of a DEFA engine pre-heater, which facilitates cold engine starts, reduces engine wear, and enhances driver comfort from the first minutes of the journey. At Volkkarihuolto.fi service in Espoo, we install DEFA heaters on SEAT cars in compliance with all technical requirements and manufacturer recommendations.

How does the DEFA heating system work?

The basic engine pre-heating system includes:

  • A heating element that is installed directly into the engine block. It heats the coolant, warming up the engine

  • A cable with DEFA MiniPlug outlet installed in the engine compartment (usually near the bumper)

  • An external frost-resistant cable connected to a standard 220V socket

Такой комплект обеспечивает быстрый и надёжный прогрев двигателя без использования шлангов, тройников и насосов. Он не требует регулярного обслуживания и отличается высоким ресурсом.

Extended capabilities of the DEFA WarmUp system

For maximum winter comfort, the system can be supplemented with:

  • DEFA Termina electric cabin heater (1400-2000W), which is mounted inside the car and provides a warm cabin before the trip starts

  • DEFA Secura charger that keeps the battery charged, especially important in short daylight conditions and increased load on the electrical system

  • DEFA Futura Automatic timer, which automatically turns on the heating system 1-3 hours before the planned departure, depending on the outside temperature

Элементы системы DEFA WarmUp сертифицированы, оснащены многоуровневой системой защиты от перегрева и могут безопасно работать в автономном режиме.

Why installing DEFA is a sensible solution?

  • Guaranteed easier engine start even in frost down to -30...-40 °C

  • Reduced engine wear and fuel consumption during cold weather

  • Comfortable warm cabin from the first minutes

  • Increased safety and durability of the entire system

  • Possibility of automatic control using a timer
