| FBH locking out on "overheat" |
|
Hi, FBH operates as normal once reset, but continually locks itself out after 2 or 3 starts, and wheen reading the fault codes (thanks BBS) always shows high temp or overheat.
Is there any suggestions around the sensor in the FBH, or other ideas on how to overcome this.
No intention of going to the expense of a new FBH, before anyone asks...
Had a quick search and can't find any specialists in central scotland who deal with the webasto heater.
Thanks in advance,

Just a guess, but is it possible that the FBH's exhaust pipe is blocked with crud ? (exhaust is 25mm-ish diameter flexi pipe in front of n/s front wheel) Jim

Is the supplementary circulation pump working well enough, if not it will heat up and cut out pretty quickly.

No , exhaust from unit clear, healthy blow when it runs.
Can't say for sure about circulation pump, not sure how you could check that easily?? It is certainly not excessively noisy.
Anyone had the unit in bits, or even better taken photos of the temp senser causing the problem.
Think I am going to remove the heater and have a look at it on the bench, when time allows.
