| FBH - Flame was detected prior to combustion |
|
FBH must know there is some cold weather on the way as it's playing up. Last year I stripped the unit down to give it a good clean with new gaskets and it's been great. However, recently it's been spewing lots of smoke (un-burnt fuel) bat-mobile style!
I got a chance to connect the Webasto Thermo Test to the unit and it continues to register the above fault.
From reading up on here it sounds like the culprit is the glow plug. Where is the best place to get a new plug? Do I have to buy a full unit or can I buy just the plug?

Glowplugs can be bought separately in Germany……… in… the summer season….
In the winter season you see them never for sale is my expericience…
If you are in need of one now…. You have to buy a replacement burner who includes the glowplug…
The deafault LR parts suppliers do sell replacement burners…
With the quick rising diesel prices… due to Putins war… just do not wait to long to buy… you will earn the money back rather quick now… ……. Pre heating does save rather a lot of fuel when it is really cold… Best regards
