Abstract
A heating system in a motor vehicle having an engine mounted in front and has a heater enclosure which is arranged on the fire wall on the side facing the occupant compartment and houses a heat exchanger that is connected to the cooling water circuit of the engine. The heater enclosure is open at the end facing the fire wall and is fastened to the fire wall so that its open end surrounds a corresponding opening provided in the fire wall. The heat exchanger extends from the engine compartment through the opening in the fire wall into the inside of the heater enclosure. The installation of the heat exchanger into the heater enclosure proceeds in conjunction with the assembly of the modular-type vehicle.
