That's ok , thought someone else might come across the same problem one day. It was the whole fan unit which also has the motor. It wasn't a big difference in price to just get the whole thing and couldn't open it up to look inside and dismantle it. It was the easiest option to just buy the whole thing assembled. It most likely was the motor not blowing the smoke out.

In the end it was the burner unit and the fan that needed replacing. Burner was an obvious one once we opened it up and then smoke was still coming from the until so we then replaced the fan. Up and running again just in time for the cold.

It's an official webasto pump on there now
-
Looking at voltage during diagnostics test the voltage is steady and high. Also our batteries are not that old. I'll try it just to cross it off since its easy to try.
-
I don't think the fuel tank is higher then the webasto. The smoke is coming from the exhaust and a bit from the air intake. It gets a little "warm" since its smoking . Thoughs on pump being faulty was ie it is not pumping correct amount of diesel to start up which is an issue I have had previously with an off brand pump. It would try to start up and fail. But at this point did not have frame was detected prior to combustion error. Haha should I genuinely check for this? We did have a lot of ants on here earlier in the season...

Trying to work out issue with webasto suddenly not heating water. Diagnostics tool showed 2 faults. NO START start (1002 the changed to code 2002) and FLAME WAS DETECTED PRIOR TO COMBUSTION 2006 Voltage coming in definitely fine. No blockages in exhaust. Plenty of fuel and coolant. What could be the issue? First thoughts are pump but maybe someone has a more clear idea why flame would be detected prior to combustion and what that actually means. When starting kicks out a small amount of white smoke the instant it starts up. Not making the louder noise that webasto usually does on start up.

Boat is registered at 62. We did meet someone on the way who said they travelled through the flight without having any lock keepers which was in 2022. I suppose it all depends if we get to try if there's lockies. There's always the option of changing the registration to 61.6 " 🤣🤣🤣 Of course would not attempt it if it looked like a tight squeeze. Which it might be... Have done the Liverpool and Leeds recently on an angle going down. Plenty of triple locks experienced they are 62 foot. Gone through a few with another boat and then angled the tighter ones to the city. Showered a bit to get out in some but definitely had space to play with to back out getting closer to the cill. Tinsley being only 4 inches shorter but wider. Walkway is what would worry me. Still would love to hear from someone who actually took a 62 foot through Tinsley .

By down I ment south travelling up the locks It's narrow
-
Anyone who has taken a 62/63 foot down Tinsley flight? What was the experience. CRT 61.6 foot by 15.3 (or 15.6 depending which part of CRT page you read) We measured our boat today since we have been nervous about the locks came to around 62.7 (with a tape measured that was bit bendy) so looks like we are more of a 63 foot boat then
-
Yeah there’s a bunch of flexible hose in the circuit. anyway will take into account in the future
-
It was the god damn cheap pump, finally got it working. Lesson learned. So you recon it’s worth fitting bore bypass to the header tank in the near future. The header tank we have is is the same as what Awayonmyboat has talked about with a cap on top two hose barns on bottom and should pressurise as water heats up
-
It’s installed with one fan blower and one radiator/towel rail. Will reset webasto again just in case it locked out but it didn’t seem that it overheated the time it worked after installation. Ran smoothly and was turned off on the control by us until the next day. the header tank has a screw on lid after system was bled Was closed so I don’t know how air would be introduced and entering into the system
-
While it’s not common in boats we consciously choose this install as our friends have had this system for years on a boat. Will take into consideration fitting bypass valve into the system
-
Installation guide for heat exchanger system does not show necessary bypass valve. Header tank used to feed in and out on two ends (I have been assured is one of the two options )
-
That’s a system with a calorifier tank no? We have a heat exchanger so no bypass valve
