Webasto Diesel Heater

[JDS]

Well Bob what a cracking job youve made of that, really neat and tidy, a real professional job, I can see 'Bobs Webasto Workshop' at Stourport next year.

And all because the lady loves warm feet (or was that Milk Tray)

All you need is a good pair of scissors courtesy of JDS P.S. Dave your'e not getting them back!!

Alison, the heater outlet does have a swivelly head, it came with the kit (one fixed for the hot air intake and one swivelly for the outlet). Also choice of two for the right angle or a straight for the inlet.

Hope you haven't put the tools away? I'll be down on saturday for my fitting
Just make sure you get that extension hose (not the exhaust ) ready to pipe into mine for next time we do this

I think the exhaust I got was about 3m long. Took an while to find a decent length of it at a reasonable price. I didn't fit a silencer though.

The Eberspacher heaters recommend that the inlet and exhaust pipes are the same length for best effect.

Hmm. I hadn't read that about the webastos - but they are broadly very similar. I have an inlet pipe fitted now, but it just drops down to the fresh air under the van. I was getting overheat fault & lockout with no inlet pipe fitted, especially if the engine was still hot.

Reference longer exhaust pipe Alison, I have one on order, will p.m you with the details.

a guy down my way that fits eberspachers says you can shorten the 1m length supplied with their kits as thats
the maximum length they recommend.although if you want to lengthen the exhaust then it should be sized up i.e.
22mm pipe into 28mm.

I didn't fit a silencer though.

hardly heard a noise coming out your exhaust up in glencoe dave
those webastos must be quieter than ebers.
either that or the crackling of the fire drowned it out

The guy down your way is right mulshy - I just re-read the instructions

[MAZABON]

the maximum exhaust length is i believe due to the exhaust gasses being blown out by a second internal fan, not the one that keeps you warm

the fan can only push the air over a certain distance due to resistance etc, hence the heater would probably overheat or work to a lesser affect and shorten the life of internal gubbins.

added-

just looked on installation instructions exhaust and intake combustion pipes 2mtrs Max, kit comes with 1mtr as standard, you can shorten aswell but only by 20cm

How much was the entire kit dude?...was looking into these recently. Where did you buy yours from?
