London Eberspacher garage

Post by **KyHarcombe** » 08 Sep 2015, 20:09

Collective brain, my Eberspacher, running off the LPG tank, won't fire up. It's blowing but not actually heating. I need to learn a simple fix or find a garage. Go...

Thank you please

Is your leisure battery sufficiently charged? It'll blow cold if theres not enough charge

are you sure its a eber? As they run off petrol or diesel.Maybe you have a propex?

The leisure battery is charged so I don't think it's that. It is an Eberspacher and , as far as I know (ie, I was told by the previous owner...) it was just coverted to run off LPG. It's a German import Westfalia so this might(?) make more sense...

put up a picture of it, 99.9% sure you can't run a eber on lpg.

Never heard of one being used on lpg - are you sure you weren't told that it runs on gas - as per Yankee speak being a diminutive of gasoline.

Had a similar problem in mine but I've got a trumatic heater. The battery was OK for the lights but not enough power for the heater. Check you have turned on the gas feed then start your engine. Try the heater again. Worked for me. We found a fault finder on-line for the trumatic which explained the light display by the thermostat. Good luck

Eberspächers - diesel or petrol!

Certainly not gas. First off try running heater while the van engine itself is running. This will give extra voltage that it might need to kick it.

Problem I had with my propex was due to leisure battery not having enough juice. All interior lights were fine and everything but as soon as I plugged into hook-up the heater suddenly fired into life.

Ok. Yep. It's not an Eberspacher. It was just described as such as short hand to help me understadn the heater. I checked with guy I bought the van from and it does run from the LPG. I'll try giving the leisure battery a super charge/see why it isn't charging enough from the main battery. All the lights, etc 'seem' fine but I'll check. We all know 'seems fine'... Progress. Thanks guys and gals.
