Default Webasto?

Hiya

My webasto has been working sound the pasts few weeks, rebuilt it and all was great, no smoke and fires up fine. Today on the other hand doesn't want to fire up even though its below 5c and the coolant is stone cold? If I earth pin 3 it fires up straight away?

Check the wiring behind the bumper from the temp sender. mine had rubbed through on the body.

It fired up this morning fine, but didn't cut out and carried on going, was chucking out loads of white smoke. Had to pull the plug in the end!

Or fit a single channel remote switch (£10 from ebay) and fire it up 15 mns before you leave the house, and have warmth the moment you start her up. Very easy to fit.

Chat to either Trebor or Devilish on here.

They know the units and are genuinely expert at sorting them out.

It's a shame the Midlands Nano's haven't been happening as I'm sure they'd have had a look if you could have popped across to one of those.

And yes, I've just had one of theirs fitted on my Conny with text remote and it's brilliant.

Dont buy one unless you see it working. Cheaper to get one from Devilish/Trebor on here.

mine was already fitted to my car and i also have a spare in the shed. ive took this one apart and cleaned the carbon out etc, runs lovely and quiet. doesnt want to shut off when temp gets to normal. just carries on going and then starts chucking out white smoke. i shall give that member a message. thank you
