Phew. You’ve had us worrying all day Daz! Will you be taking it for a service still?

The combination of piping hot water and using a brush won’t do the paintwork any favours.

I was gonna suggest the canal boat place in Middlewich.  I drive past it every other week, they’ll sort you out.

Why don't you just use the Webasto UK website to find an authorised service engineer closest to where you live? That's what I did and have used them for services many times since 2010 when I had my first hot system from PF.

From my experience the agent advertised by Webasto UK in Middlesbrough hasn't done Webasto repairs for the past 2 years. The guy who did retired and they haven't replaced him.

The agent advised in Durham talked the talk but when it came to the point of getting a unit booked in for repair they responded they would get back to me. Still waiting but I just knew at the time it wasn't going to happen.

If you find someone who has been in the repair side for years on the canals then you have a better chance of getting a unit repaired than we do.

There was a guy on Ebay offering a repair service for Thermo 90's. His charge was nearly £400 plus parts.  May as well buy a new one for £1350 because your repair costs won't be much less than that. Ask Splash and Dash.

it seems to be quite difficult to find someone who is sufficiently qualified who ll service them.........

You can also buy a 12kw knock off Eberspacher Hot water heater  from China for peanuts. I'm sure there would be customs and import tax to pay on that.

Its turning these things into becoming throw away products. The problem is the Germans don't know that yet.

The Chinese have already shown that with their mass produced air heaters. I would love to know what Eberspatcer's Airtronic sales are like now.

That’s the thing with the 5kw it is a lot easier to service yourself anything hardware is easy enough to swap out and replace once you’ve done it a few times and taken pictures as you go,I think the burner only took less than an hour to swap over it’s as easy as undoing 4-5 screws changing the gasket  and burner and putting back together,reconnect the pipes and you’ve got a new burner.

[Splash & dash]

i reckon it must of been an airlock/blockage in the heat exchanger as its working great again now.....

coiled hose water temperature(after 20 mins from firing up this morning)...44c.....ambient air temperature 4c

this afternoon(less than half a tank left).....56c....i couldnt hold my hand under it for more than a few seconds....ambient air temperature 6c.......

There you go what did I say 😂😂😂

[NWH]

Well done Splash another thing we now know that’ll save time 👍

I only suspected it was an air lock as I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago , I did think like you if it wasn’t that it would be the circulation pump they are expensive at £300 a go , so glad it was an air lock

[NWH]

Yeah unusual an air lock though they are very reliable units though when you think the use they get.
