Eberspacher

You may be wondering why free independent DIY help on Eberspacher heaters is included on a commercial varnish and sander website.

Whist dearer than the ebay chinese heaters still much cheaper than rip off eber/webasto.

Anyone wondering why Ebers and Webaso are so dear and i call a rip off, this could be the reason. for this reason alone i will never knowingly buy any of their products. Webasto wrongly avoiding a fine of € 222,247,000 gets away scot free by selling out Eber

The manufacturers must put these appliances in before adding the furniture & fittings.
My water heater had to go back to Trauma for repair, I literally had to take the van to bits to get the bloody thing out!
 
With the webasto the whole heater would need to be removed to do any work on it , from memory it would be fitted to a plat that is already mounted and sealed to the vehicle floor, its been so long since I worked on them i can't remember exactly how the heater was fitted to the mounting plate, seem to remember some allen bolts going through the heater to the plate under a panel or the top half of the casing, if you can follow the exhaust that should take you to the bottom of the heater .
 
4 x 10mm from underneath. Between the inlet and exhaust pipes. The fuel line is in the same place....
My webasto is old but that's how its fitted, simple to remove if you can get under it.
 
Looks like a job for spring time,dont fancy laying in rain at moment to remove as the fuel tank will have to come out,and it requires the holding straps shotblasted and painted,life never simple esp the older you get.:cry:Thanks for info .
 
hi Trev,bit late to this .the heater is probably fixed from underneath. there are 4 threaded holes , as Fulltimer said , surrounding the exhaust and inlet pipes. the fuel pipe can be cut and sealed up , and the heater fed from a container of diesel for testing purposes. this kit is handy for rejoining etc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3mm-5M-Fuel-Pipe-Line-Hose-Clips-Kit-For-Eberspacher-Webast-Hater-Fuel-Tank-5m/303324383044?_trkparms=ispr=1&hash=item469f8ac744:g:jjEAAOSwljFdp2cW&enc=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&checksum=303324383044a077ef7ca1944a58bb3267e49217a3d3&enc=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&checksum=303324383044a077ef7ca1944a58bb3267e49217a3d3 the fuel pump is self priming . if you get the heater out it's not too bad to work on

Trev it looks like a job for your little boy, getting him started in mechanics :)

Do not use rubber/nitrile/viton fuel line between pump and heater as the pump is a pulse dosing pump and the rubber types just flex when the pump pulses giving incorrect dosing into the burner. Use the type as in harrows link.

Blows a bit with the heat of a match
 
everything's working then , just not very well. there's often a little filter on the pump ,you might get lucky!
 
The older pumps had to be at 45 degrees to work correctly. Outlet delivery pointing up.also a inline filter that can easily block.
Is the air intake clear.
My new one is 10 years old, so not sure about their workings
