Best way to figure out how it works… Take it apart and put it back together… Great job!
Thanks 👍
Well done Mel, it's great to see you work through a problem
Thank you buddy glad you enjoyed the video 👍🤓👍
Great job such a easy fix, Even quicker now you done it before.
Great your heaters fixed mell lots of people lately having issues with the heaters
Thank you buddy hopefully someone finds this video helpful 👍🤓👍
Well done, Mel! Perseverance paid off and helped many on the way...... Keep up the great work; spring is round the corner feller
Thank you buddy soon as the weather gets better I’m doing a re fit 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld Better still Mel, I've a boat I can sell you! That'll keep you busy 😉
Hi Mel good insight on the heater there doesn't seem to be that much to them when you take it apart glad it worked again always good when you can fix something that was fit for the bin 👍
Thank you Dave I do enjoy fixing stuff 👍🤓👍
Great vid , glad you persevered and found the issue , then fixed it , well done and keep em coming 😎
Thank you 🙏
Hi Mel great video for a wet and windy Sunday afternoon!
Nice to know what’s inside one of those thank you
Stay safe 👍👍😎
Thank you you to buddy hope your staying safe 👍
Great job Mel, that's better information than an Haynes manual, we've had issues with ours with a temp sensor failure and voltage errors but the information gained from your vlog will be useful for any future problems. Thanks 👍
Thank you for the positive feedback really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Bang on once again Mel, great video pal & I really enjoy them.
Thank you Archie that’s kind of you to say 👍🤓👍
That was interesting. Always nice to see how something is made.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was on the edge of my seat during that one Mel as I had visions of a big explosion 💥😂
Glad you sorted it
lol lucky not this time 😂🤓👍
You do make me laugh and I find myself talking to the screen when you didn't have to file a bigger opening but I do the same as you take things to pieces to see how they work when bust. Please keep it up.
Thank you maybe next time I take something apart I’ll do it live 👍🤓👍
My fuel filter cracked after about 6 months installed without being physically damaged or stressed. I had to replace all the woodwork round it as it got soaked. I even cut a square from the floor. IMHO the OEM filter (slightly expensive at £30) is a good investment. Mel, if you will be exploring the subject of filters anytime, finding a cheaper reliable alternative might be beneficial for the community.
What's it like to be a heater guru Mel? Seriously I enjoyed that video I'm also glad you got the heater working, entertaining and enlightening as always 👍
Thank you Paul I’m no expert but I’m learning as I go glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the encouragement really appreciated 👍🤓👍
I was a fire truck mechanic in the US Airforce. 1500 gallons of water had to be kept liquid with small heaters like this. Mounted in a small box in the back of the vehicle with water tubes attached. Not my favorite thing to do. Hands on is the only way to learn how your home works.😁 Great job!
that’s really interesting thank you buddy for the positive encouragement really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Very useful now to sort mine on the boat….thabkyou
Thanks Mel, just had this error code pop up on mine last night, thankfully I was on my parents drive at the time. Have ordered a replacement heater but have get the ignition plugs u linked and see if that will recover the old one so I can have a spare
Good luck 🤞
Great vid I think I have the same issue. Take care PMac from NJ USA
Good luck with it hopefully this video helps you 👍
I think that warranty went out the window along time ago when you broke that seal 😂😂😂 great video as always Mel love to you and Rebecca x
Haha yes you could be rite there thanks Rob really appreciate your encouragement 👍🤓👍
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing and keep safe and healthy..
That’s really kind of you thank you and the same to you stay safe and healthy too 👍🤓👍
thank you very much for your video. I really like it. I'm trying to learn from that for our "The Dream" tour. this tour goes from germany via poland, lithuania, latvia, russia, kazakhstan, kigisistan, uzbekistan and some more to turkey.
Wow that’s incredible stay safe Europe’s on the brink of war I’d give it a while before you set off 👍🤓👍
Ha Ha....Well done with the filing. Great that you filmed the kind of mistake we all make all the time. Was thinking they make thousands of those, how do they manage to get the plug in each time. I wonder how many of those plugs have been broken by people trying to change them.
Nice one Mel 👍. Glad you got it sorted. Remember to put some overtime on your job sheet. Started that job in daylight finished in the dark 😆😆
Thank you 😊
Fair play mel for doing that and sharing it 👏 .
Thank you 🙏
Remember Mel, you're a unique type of knob, YOU'RE A MEDWAY KNOB, love to you and Becky, your #1 fan in Medway
Haha 😂 thanks buddy that’s really encouraging 😂👍
Very helpful 👌
Well done Mel 👏
Thank you 👍🤓👍
Great video Mel well done bud stay safe guys. 👍🌹
Thanks buddy and you 👍🤓👍
Mel! You remind me of a mate from back in the day ..... he used to mend his motobikes with a lump-hammer and a screw-driver .... they always ran after his undivided attention .... He went on to become a Diesel-Fitter at a local Plant-Hire Company 🙂
That’s brilliant 👍🤓👍
Nice vid I had the same problem after installing glowplug and had the same sybmol come up with the fan spinning very slow I fixed it by taking the connectors of the motherboard and putting back in making sure they were right in and it fixed it no more weird sybol
Thank you buddy that’s great I’ll definitely give it go when I do the installation 👍🤓👍
excellent video Mel! your the only person ive ever seen take one apart and show a few ideas of repairing and fault finding. the glow plug seal is interesting and does show the importance of a carbon monoxide detector, as its always been said they cant leak apart from the exhaust outlet. you certainly didnt look a wally filing the hole bigger and i think you were thrown off trail by being sold a special spanner... i guess most people would have the same issue unless they split it first, but would still try the spanner if it came with it. Great job
Thank you buddy for the positive encouragement really appreciated 👍🤓👍
I'm not so sure, firstly I didn't see a burn chamber gasket which is present on other models and must be replaced after a strip down plus I noticed small remnants of the outer casing gasket (the green one) still present on the casing after it was separated, I didn't see Mel remove these remnants before reassembly. The fact that the glow plug socket doesn't fit properly because the heaters components don't line up rang alarm bells for me. Sorry to be a pain but I always ere on the side of caution in these situations.
John McK 47 has a channel that goes into more detail. I urge you to check it out!!!!
It looks to me like the manufacturers of this unit have put more emphasis on the outer casing gasket and the glow plug gasket as a last line of defence from leaking fumes and both of these now look compromised. Still enjoyed watching it though.
No Plonker .You do good Mel and that's you we all watch you
Thank you Les 👍🤓👍
Great job Mel 👊👊👊
Thank you buddy 👍🤓👍
Hi mel
You could have your own tv show
And be the new jack Hargreaves.
Out of town with mel & his van
This would suit you perfectly mel !
That’s brilliant thank you for the encouragement and support really appreciated 👍🤓👍
My diesel heater stopped working and just smoked. I replaced the glow plug and screen and it worked!
Great 👍
good vid MelI hope you cover the hole where you filed it don't want an accident to happen be safe MEL another good video thanks
Thank you buddy I’ll give it a good test when I get round to installing it 👍🤓👍
Still got to instal mine, it’s one of those jobs you put off and off, excuse after excuse..once this weather has finally decided what it’s doing and can give me hours of decent conditions then I will get it done. Mines an Erbaspacher D2 that I bought from a Welsh chap who revamps them for resale..I’ve not tested it as the wiring hardly matches and it’s taken ages to find anything regarding the set up (I know, should of asked the nice chap) but think I’ve got it. You’ve made it look not such a daunting task, so that will be my next job, I will keep all files hidden and won’t poke it too much and hope it works…watch this space, hope it’s doesn’t become a pile of ash.
Good luck with it hope it goes well for you 👍🤓👍

My first glow plug lasted about 8 months and was cracked. The control unit did give me the appropriate error code to tell me though. I took the old one out before I bought a new one, as there was a couple of different connector designs. The slotted tool is a very good tip though. It was easier than the videos I watched of cheap sockets and angle grinders!
Brilliant 👍
What was the "appropriate error code"?
I have just bought one come from Germany brand new error o3 glow plug gone never had it run ,new one coming tomorrow fingers crossed!,
Interesting video thanks
Thank you 👍🤓👍
Nice to see you using a double-ender, Mel. Ohh matron!!!
Lol 😂
Very useful video. I am having the same problem. Wishing me luck replacing the spark plug
Good luck! Finding a spark plug in a diesel engine 😂👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld got one from Amazon and took me 1hr to complete the work. The heater back in operation now 🕺🏻
@@mrafati well done 👍 good job 👏👏
I've found some of the controllers on these can be set to run on either 12 or 24 volts with 12 being the default setting which on some will revert to when power has been removed from the controller for a bit as if they used a capacitor as a memory battery, not so handy if you had it set to run with a 24 volt system but handy if someone like myself ham fistedly managed to change the setting and couldn't figure out the button combo to get back to reset it to 12v. Cheers!
Yes it’s hit n miss I think
I bought 1 portable worked great bought another to install insted of propane furnace and it would not prime so I bought another to install and it would not prime so I cheated the prime and it worked but the black controllers both would not prime so thanks for the advice on manually priming by mouth its winter here and cold and the mail sucks takes over a month to get anything again thank you
Pretty simple once you get one apart ain't they 👍
The glow plug was more than likely shorted ( Hense the wires melted) that would pull down the voltage and give the low voltage trouble code 🤔
Well done chap that was informative 👍
Thank you buddy that’s a good point it’s a shame I broke the plug would have been interesting to test it 👍🤓👍
Nice one mell good vid ,keep your eye on Ebay for a propex m8 ,I love mine cheers
Thank you 👍🤓👍
Hi buddy really sorry I should of sent you the tiny video I made not brilliant tho. 🤗 I just bought the standard ones and used a hack saw to cut enough slit down one side. You know me I like to do things differently 😂 😂
I reckon why it snapped bud is your glow plug got really burnt and cracked. Hence seeing the end melted like that.
I was lucky mine was just a hair line crack on the end, I was able to use the tool to remove it. Great vlog buddy, it’s great seeing how you took it all apart 🤗🤗😊😊 mine smoked awful at first think it had diesel inside some where to burn it out, it too came out of the air intake and the exhaust 😂
Was strange don’t remember mine been off set :(
Always a great vlog buddy. Your always a big inspiration to everyone.
Big hugs to you and Becks ☺️ plus little Monty 🤗🍻🚐💕🐾
Thank you buddy for the great tips really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Just sent a couple of handy documents to you on messenger regarding these heaters👍
Thank you 🙏
Mel like I said in your other video,yes your heater is 12v but your controller might have defaulted to 24v which will cause a low voltage error code,also make sure the breather hole next to the glow plug isn't plugged.
Thank you 🙏
Your a spanner and that was a socket 😂🤣 keep up the good work chap love the vids
Haha thank you 👍🤓😂👍
Great vid 😁 but oh that looks really complicated! 🫣. Think I might have an issue with mi glow plug, although the error code is 10 🤷♀️🤔. Want to take mine apart (enjoy that process), however, not sure it'll ever work again if I do that 🤣🤦♀️
Good luck with it 🤞
Well done! Can we now call you the 'heater whisperer?' 😂😂
Thank you I’m learning more and more as time goes by 😂👍
Just an advisory: Some of us have Webasto and Webasto knockoff heaters and those look similar from the outside but have different parts on the inside. They don't use the slotted socket to remove the glow plug, for instance, because the glow plug is not threaded but is held in with a set screw.
Interesting thank you 👍
Good call testing it in the morning Mel. The last thing you want to do is disturb the fire brigade at night huh! :-)
Haha that’s good point 😂👍
You are the Plonkers, plonker 🤣
Great video mate x
🚐💨❤
Haha that’s a first 😂👍🍻
very helpful I like your style of presenting and talking us through it all. Thanks. Is it a camper you are working in?
Yes I am!
Great stuff Mel. I see you have it on its side and working ok. I have one yet to fit it. Do you know if it works upside down? As I want to fit mine with exhaust,inlet,fuel supply pointing up. Don’t ask me why it may make my life easier. I can make the bracket to suit.
Yes they definitely work upside down a friend of a friend fitted one on his boat like that had the exhaust going out the roof 👍🤓👍
Plonker comment is gold. What is a spanner and what would alternative to filing entail?
Hi Mel, not sure if you saw this, so will ask again, apologises if getting you mixed up with someone else and you only got two batteries 😃! QUICK QUESTION, how have you found adding a third leisure battery to your van? Has it been worth it? How much difference dose it make?..Have two AGM batteries similar to what you have and thinking of adding a third one like you have. Only a part timer in my van, but use everyday. Been having problems on weekends away this winter with low batteries, if parked up for the day, as not much solar.... Love your channel, keep the great videos coming, will buy you a coffee soon and that's a promise 👍👍👍
I actually added 2 more batteries and yes makes a big difference 👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld Great thanks Mel 🙂
On the 12/24v it’s the controller that can be changed not the unit itself, & the controller if in 24v will think there’s not enough power & will not start giving a error code. Stopping the glow plug & pump to stop any damage to the unit, every controller is made multi volt save money for all vehicles 12/24v
Thank you thank you that’s really interesting and helpful 👍🤓👍
Your right to buy a new one then you have tons of spare parts. They look like the molding came from a modified Honda C50 outer skin. 👌
Oh my goodness me that’s what I was thinking 🤓👍
Great weirdo video you both did, hope you've submitted your own weirdo video
Thank you 👍🤓👍
yay
i have the same 2k heater you can fit it in a smaller space and run it on a hotter setting so it does not soot up a 5k run on the minimum setting tends to clog. The one advantage i can see to a 5k is the possibility to fit the water heater accessory pack worth your channel having a look at one ??
Hi James your absolutely rite that’s why I wanted 2kw so I can fit it in a smaller space when I do a re fit in the spring 👍
Ive got the same heater, just installed it with no problems and working fine. In the booklet there’s different error codes for all the different kinds of controllers. They all say something completely different!
Hay how are you doing I’m glad you got a good one how long does it take to start up mine seams to take ages 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld i turned it on and it self primmed, took 60 seconds. Then it fired up straight away, fan first then I got heat after about 2 mins. I’ve tested it every day this week with the remote and had no problems so far.
@@exploresandtosummit fantastic 👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld guess I’ve been lucky so far. 👍
I would think that by filing that hole out you have made it easier should you need to replace the glow plug again?
What kind of stove is that in the background? Where could I find one like it? thanks
at least your brush worked lol
That’s about rite 😂👍
Hi, did you unplug the glow plug at the motherboard before attempting to use the socket ? If not that would cause it to snap the wires. The socket is such a poor fit it would work at an angle to remove the plug as it was , off set or not. Always entertaining Mel and always my first watch of the CZcams day. Cheers Richie.
Yes I did unplug it first 👍
There is a firm in north wales that fits and sells the Russian heater that is ten times better. 👍🏻🏴
Yes iv ordered one of there quiet pumps 👍🤓👍
There is a guy on CZcams called
wills wearabouts who just had a Russian heater fitted after going through about 3 Chinese heaters. 👍🏻🏴
Will you get rid of your wood burner now you run 9n a cdh ?????
Oh no I love my wood stove I was thinking of getting the bigger one the grisly 👍
I can strip mine down in 10 minutes with my eyes closed ive done it so many times, we all end up experts trying to keep these running lol
I’m no expert but I’d be up for the challenge 👍🤓👍
Ho long will it work if it break down I get pout it 8n the bin
That’s the million dollar question
Shows how important having 2 sources of heat are, the wood burner won't break down.
yes 😇
You still need a modified c-spanner to remove/tighten the glo-plug from inside the heater . The shoulders of most spanners are too thick and need grinding down to allow the spanner to turn sufficiently . See John Mck 47's video on "Special Tools" the 2:05 mark is pertaining to this issue .

Fattrucker
Thank you that’s really kind of you 👍
You must be able to fit them without filing it away or how do they make them ? WITH A SPANNER 😂👍
I have no idea 🤷♂️ 😂👍
I have a question
My diesel heater stopped taking fuel in. The pump works and push it through but u can see leak at the heater inlet. So not sure what that could be.. could it be
it runs for few minutes, doesn’t heat up and then stops/ goes into shut down mode
Anyone knows :(
Sounds like a new heater would solve your problem sorry to say
@@BigVanSmallWorld oh no…
I have ordered glow plug as the heater blows cold air but it doesn’t use any fuel so that’s why it leaks when the pump push it through
Heaters went up 100% now :( used to cost £80/90
My heater worked fine for months but stopped recently with E01 error. The next day it worked fine. The next, E01 again. I replaced solar-fed battery since it was getting on in years and is the usual suspect for E01, but problem persists intermittently. Is E01 the "appropriate error code" for glow plug failure, and could this indeed lead to salvation? See commenter reference below. I assume some component is dying slowly and have ordered a whole new unit -- 92 USD Cyber Monday -- rather than risk another Rocky Mt night without heat while waiting (and paying) for parts and fumbling for solutions, but if problem persists, what next?
Could the fuel pump somehow trigger E01? I've read checking controller for 24V, but if it always worked 12V, how could controller have changed? I'll check for due diligence next chance I get; it's too cold to go outside, I'll be at the bar.
Mine is doing the same thing too now 🙃
Consensus is voltage drop due to thin power wire. I'll replace it after replacing my entire unit. Sorry to give you the malocchio.
What are the chances that I am literally replacing the glow plug today!
Good luck 🤞
All are 24v and 12v
It is a truck heater after all
Yes I know you would think rite but I’ve tried and looked but I can’t find a way to change it so I’m thinking it’s 12v only
@@BigVanSmallWorld do you have a screen for a pin code to be entered? If so try 1688 this code take you in to advanced settings you can change fan speed max an min also pump but be careful as you can mess it up (just not the values in case) anyway in here is the setting for voltage change
czcams.com/video/_pnGccNOay4/video.html
Is it just me or was it unplugged when u started?
Wanna sell it on Mel, I'm after a 2kw one
I’m sorry I’m planning on installing it in my van when I do a re fit soon 👍
Surely you shouldn't have to do your own repairs after buying it
It’s ok I don’t mind tinkering and learning how stuff works
Spanner, lol.
I’m over it Mel. Just saying.
Over what ??
@@BigVanSmallWorld Cheap diesel heaters and their weird ways. Invest in a hottie …any sort you like hehe
You sound really 'Pi..sed off Buddy,..😪.
Really I’m ok all good thanks anyway 👍🤓👍
They are cheap for a reason.
By filing that away you will lose your seal to the glowplug..it's to stop fumes.....and You're undoing the glow plug from inside you need to file a spanner down to fit inside
When you buy a new one strip it down ...throw away the paper gaskets and use a high temperature Sealant and a small amount of thread lock on all bolts ...this makes them reliable
