Hello all

I have a 2.1dj engined wesfallia, Fplate.

Eberspacher was working fine, underslung gas tank empty so filled up with lpg. gas cooker likes it and still functions but when eberspacher turned on it runs for 3 mins without heat then nowt, thermostat working, what should i be looking for?

based in SElondon

more pics of the pressure guage etc if helpfull

thanks

Didnt realise Eberspacher did one that run on gas... what model is it?

Well for starters....the Eberspacher runs on petrol or diesel and has nothing to do with the LPG. With a 2.1DJ (petrol engined westy) a petrol Ebber was fitted.
The most important thing for the Ebber is power! it needs a minimum 11volts to function, basically a good leisure battery fully charged otherwise it either won't start or function correctly.
Try running the engine when you check ebber function...if the leisure charge circuit is working correctly then the extra charge should enable the Ebber to work.

I would also point out that the black plastic box in the photo is in fact your battery charger (when hooked up to the mains both starter and leisure batteries recieve charge from this unit)

More pictures of pressure gauge?........you mean the LPG capacity gauge? on the tank?
Fills to 80% then shuts off automatically, you will need a German to UK convertor adapter available from Gasure or to be honest..most LPG stations have several adapters for customer use so we have never bothered AND...as the LPG lasts so long we only fill it up two/three times a season. (JUST MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS TURN THE MAIN GAS TAP OFF UNDER THE SINK) everytime you return from a trip.....the fridge can stay lit and waste all the LPG...REALLY!

I thought it ran on gas as it stoped working the same time as the 2 ring hob ran out, sat there over winter then filled up on lpg only for the hobs to be free again but the eberspacher not.


Manual is in Deutche and my Deutche sprache mate says were doing everything we ought to.

If it does run on gas it's a rare one as it has factory aircon also.

As for id I photogaphed everything under the seat but apparently the black box is the split charge.
