Used Truck Cab Heaters, Night Heaters, Heater Boxes & Blower Motors

Used truck cab heaters, night heaters, heater boxes & blower motors

Cab heaters and auxiliary night heaters are vital for driver comfort, safety and uptime on modern heavy trucks. The main heater box inside the cab works together with the blower motor and heater matrix to provide warm air for demisting the windscreen and keeping the driver comfortable in cold weather. Many long-haul tractors are also equipped with independent night heaters so that the cab can be heated without idling the engine.

In this category we offer used OEM cab heater boxes, heater cores, blower motors and complete night heater units removed from complete donor trucks. Typical examples include heater / ventilation units for DAF XF/CF, MAN TGX/TGS and Mercedes-Benz Actros cabs, as well as auxiliary heaters such as Webasto and Eberspächer systems used on European HGVs.

What you will find in the Heaters category

Stock in the Heaters category changes as new donor vehicles arrive, but it typically includes:

• complete cab heater boxes with heater matrix, flaps and blower housing for European truck cabs;
• heater cores / heater matrices that provide hot coolant-to-air heat exchange inside the HVAC unit;
• heater blower motors and fans that push air through the heater and A/C system;
• auxiliary night heaters (parking heaters) – water or air heaters from brands such as Webasto and Eberspächer;
• mounting frames and brackets for heater boxes and night heater units;
• selected related components supplied together with the main heater unit, such as short hoses, silencers or mounting plates.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare layout, connectors and mounting points with the heater components fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most heater parts in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF tractors and rigids with manual and automatic HVAC systems;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul and construction trucks with cab and auxiliary heaters;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs MP3, MP4 and MP5 cabs;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage vehicles;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components removed from complete trucks, each heater box, matrix, blower or night heater is normally matched to a specific cab type, HVAC system version and emission standard.

Why cab heaters, heater boxes & night heaters matter

A correctly working heating system is essential for:

• driver comfort – a reliable cab heater keeps drivers comfortable and alert on long runs in cold or wet conditions;
• clear visibility & safety – effective heater and demister performance helps keep windscreens and side windows free from mist and ice;
• fuel efficiency & emissions – auxiliary night heaters reduce the need to idle the engine to keep the cab warm, saving fuel and cutting emissions;
• uptime – avoiding repeated HVAC faults and poor heater performance reduces unscheduled visits to the workshop.

Typical reasons to replace heater components

Common reasons to order parts from the Heaters category include:

• no or poor heat output from the cab vents due to a blocked heater matrix or failed heater box;
• blower not working or noisy because of a worn blower motor or damaged fan wheel;
• coolant leaks inside the cab traced to a cracked or corroded heater core;
• auxiliary night heater not starting or shutting down prematurely, where replacement of the complete unit is the most practical solution;
• accident or water damage to the heater box or night heater area on the chassis;
• replacing non-original or improvised heater parts with the correct OEM components for your truck brand and cab type.

How to choose the correct cab heater or night heater

To minimise fitting issues and ensure reliable operation, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and cab type – for example DAF XF106 Space Cab, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• HVAC system type – manual heater/AC or automatic climate control can use different heater boxes and blower motors;
• auxiliary heater type – water heater vs air heater, power rating (kW), and whether it is factory-mounted or retrofitted;
• connector types – electrical plugs, coolant hose diameters and exhaust/intake connections for night heaters;
• mounting style and location – under-dash heater box, under-bunk or chassis-mounted auxiliary heater, with the correct brackets;
• OEM part numbers printed or stamped on your existing heater box, matrix, blower or heater unit, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of your existing heater components and mounting area. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM heater parts from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that HVAC and heating systems can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove heater boxes, matrices, blower motors and auxiliary heaters, check housings, connectors and cores for visible damage and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable components are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
