markc Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi there, yes i've done that with no joy! i've just been reading other peoples comments and some have had the same issues recently/before. Could the cold weather really effect the performance? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me old fashioned, but wouldn't that rather defeat the point of having one? (No, it isn't that - hopefully the "other posts" you refer to will have given you a steer by now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacka Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 If you have a badly insulated and/or draughty boat, it may just be that in this cold weather you are simply losing heat too fast for it to get really hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glynn Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I wouldnt like to solely rely on a little webasto at this time of year. At best they are a back heat system imo. Fit a stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Surly the important bit is the water temperature at the inlet radiators to tell if the Webasto is working OK, not how warm/cold the boat is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacka Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 It would be useful to know the temperatures of the coolant (or pipe surface temp) going into and out of the Webasto when it has been running for a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
