Hi, Just installed a remote on my FBH but the heater only starts and then stops again. Tried to flush it several times but no luck. Anyone got a used one that can be shipped to Norway? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

What's your ambient temperature at the moment? If it's above 5 degrees, IIRC that's exactly what the FBH should do.

? english please..

I only know that my local dude said it was no use trying to fix it and I needed to change the FBH. RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

If you can get the software and a lead to connect to the FBH you can then test it fully, I have had a few like this and with a diagnostic lead and the webasto software have manged to clear them and get them going, can also be done with a Faultmate MSV2.

Flack

Look on the Disco3 wiki. There's a section about the FBH including where to source the leads and software. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

The initial question is: 'What is the temperature in your location at the moment?'

IIRC - The heater isn't supposed to start if the temperature is >5 degrees.

So, if it's warm enough, it's not supposed to start anyway.

As for fixing them, if you can work out what's wrong, they're fairly easy to repair and the parts are usually available on e-bay, etc...

its now 2 degress here in Oslo and the FBH should start. We tried to get it going with the faultmate and it starts but stops again every time.

Must be the burningchamber? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

Not sure the temperature matters if fitted with a remote as this overrides the limits for auto operation . I fitted an oval timer to my D3 and it would fire up whenever i pressed the flame button regardless of outside temperature. The >4/5 degrees setting only comes into effect for automatic operation as does coolant temp and fuel level

Here is the info on the D3 site that RRSTDV8 suggested,hopefully it may help?

Apologies, I missed your reply!

Yes, it could be the chamber but worth checking that the fuel pump/supply is working, coolant circulation pump and the fan/air supply for the chamber are all working before replacing.

had a local guy test the FBH and he said its 90% the burming chamber.

where can I get a used one for a good price? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

E-Bay is probably your best bet.
