Gents, anyone know where I can get my FBH fault found and serviced in the south (Portsmouth area)? It runs through start up phase but shuts down before it fully ignites.

many Thanks in advance.

Jase, there have been a couple of threads in the last few days covering possible faults. Do a search to isolate your particular fault.

Being in Portsmouth, you should have no problem getting a webasto dealer/expert/engineer due to all, the mariners and yachties there.

Thanks Dolphinboy.

There are lots of Eberspacher specialists here as I got one fixed on my boat but not sure about webasto and I don't really have the time to remove it etc. I may have to go to LR but thought I would see if there are any specialists that could sort it.

As far as fault finding goes I can't find anything that matches the description of what my FBH is doing. I get all the normal start up clicking from the pump etc but after a puff of smoke it shuts down with a funny intermittent crackling noise!

Thanks again for your help. It certainly sounds like it would be a nice thing to have working.

Try this.

WEBASTO FBH DIAGNOSTICS update

-Engine cold and stopped

-At first, unplug then replug the power connector (or fuse F in order to reset the system.
-Connect permanently Pin 3 to earth. (To + batt in case of older model)
Simultaneously start a TIMER and listen when the fan stops

IF stop after 3 sec, restart 4 seconds later and finally stop at 2 minutes 7 sec;
An error is generated; may be caused by:

-Battery voltage lower than 10 volts
-Glow plug open or short circuit
-Circulation pump open or short circuit
-Fuel pomp open
-PCB defective (send me a PM)

IF a weird turbine noise appears at a door opening e.g.,PCB likely faulty.

IF stop after more than 2 minutes 10 sec, then
PCB and all devices are good (except doubtful glow plug)

IF stop at 4 minutes 5 sec, Glow plug resistor too high (0,6 ohms for instance),

IF stop at 4 minutes 40 sec it is a ignition fault, (fuel pump priming fault e.g.)

hmm, just when I thought the FBH was sorted. Has worked a couple of times but mostly fuel pump clicking starts during start up and then it shuts down Apparently the fault code is associated with a faulty glow plug which surprises me as I thought that would cause it to never work?
