longy

Not yet but that will be my next job

Hi Tony I ran the system for maybe 15 mins and I also felt the outlet of the exhaust and it wasn't very warm at all. I have read somewhere that removing the fuse will clear faults do you think it would help in this case

How long would you run it for Tony also I take it I should see some rise in the radiator temps once it's been on a while

Sorry for any confusion I will post a pic of the expansion tank inlets in more detail My posts are also getting combined which makes it appear that I am saying the same thing over and over I also agree on the plast expansion tank next to the webasto being removed it is now on my job list.

Not 100% sure but doesn't the expansion tank take care of that. In the operating manual for the boat under the central heating system it states A connection is fitted to fill the water system which is located in the rear deck locker the operating pressure should be checked on a regular basis on the gauge on the expansion vessel and maintained at the correct level by topping up with water mixed with antifreeze. Hope this helps As an update I have managed to fill the expansion tank as there was a feed loop by the tank as Tracy suggested. Now it appears that by running the system dry I might of damaged the webasto as there's white smoke coming from the exhaust and a smell of diesel. It looks like a repair is on the cards

Hope this helps I have just checked the gauge and am I correct in thinking that the red dial it where the pressure should be set to and the black arrow is showing that it needs filling.

Ok I know know that the system I have is in fact a pressurised system using an expansion tank and filling is by the way of the copper pipes in the photo. My question is A How do I know how full it is now B is it just a case of opening the valves at the bottom and using a funnel to top up the system Has any got any experience using this system Many thanks

Ok here goes The plastic webasto header tank has never been in play as I know There are 2 15 mm feeder pipes in the stern locker as per photos. I can only assume one is for the central heating and the other is for the fire but I am not 100% I have put my hand near to the exhaust outlet and although hot I expected it to be hotter. Could another reason be that the heater jets aren't working as they should thus only delivering 50% Thanks all

Will do

Hi all looking for a bit of advice re our webasto central heating system. We have been using the system for a couple of years without any hiccups and this morning I have put the system on and the rads are taking an age to warm up. The are definitely warming up as they are now currently at 40c . I have thought for a few weeks now that the rads need topping up with 50% antifreeze/water but I am unsure if this is something that needs to be done or not. If so how could I check also in on if the lockers are the stern there's a 22mm copper pipe pointing upwards with a valve at the bottom and I was always under the impression that is where it is topped up from. Any ideas please
