| Fuel heat burner Webasto Thermo Top V |
|
Hello.
Got a problem with my FHB (fuel heat burner). It tries to start and a some smoke comes out, and then it stops after 1 minut. Last year I had the same problem when the winther came. Then I had it forced to start by my mechanic and it worked for some days, but this year it is a problem again.
What is the problem ?
Should I get it repaired or buy a new one. Has anyone tried to repair it. It is a Webasto Thermo Top V.

I'd buy the FBH Controller from Bell Auto Services (site sponsors); it's a couple of hundred quid, so cheaper than a new heater, will clear any error codes and starts it with a remote key-fob. Even if it's a fuelling problem, the ability to start it manually throughout the year at a time of your choosing will stop any gunge building up!
