Webasto problem

Hi all,

My Webasto runs nicely for two (2) minutes. Then it shuts off.

According to manual it is suppose run for one (1) hour. Does not matter whether I use timer or instant burn.

No fault codes!

Any ideas,please. It is getting very cold here in Finland.

I think it's an auxiliary heater for cold (read very cold) areas of the world

Re: Webasto problem

Sorry, the auxiliary heater (i.e. Webasto) is not covered in the US service manual -- it was not available here. Can you get any service documentation for it, even a wiring diagram?

Does it use the electric coolant pump, or does it have its own coolant pump? If so, I wonder if the pump is running correctly. If it isn't, I could imagine the auxiliary heater turning off when it reaches an internal temperature limit.

If you start to get warm air from the heater during the two minutes that it runs, this probably isn't the problem.

What are the components of this system? Does it have its own control module?
