You saved my life, for me it was only a bad electric contact on terminal. Thank you so much!

[@hamblos9344]

Great video, thanks. I thought my diesel heater was shot but I managed to fix it in 10 minutes following this video, with a £5 replacement heat sensor.

[@alanstalker8298]

Fixed my heater by changing the temp sensor thanks for the instructions. My heater had 2 pins and a 2-pin housing but the 3-pin housing on the replacement worked fine.

[@robertsmith4520]

Fantastic,mines ok at moment but love having this in my library.

Mine wasn't getting hot and then started going error-08 flame out. Thought either temperature sensor or glow plug but decided to try the simplest thing first. Remove the muffler. Not expecting it to actually work but it did. 😂

[@charleswillard775]

Good job, the hole on mine broke off when i unclipped it out so have had to glue the sensor back in

You made that look easy I've got farmers hands like banana fingers I wish there was a way to control the fan speed at startup to stop cold air blowing until reaching a certain temperature👍👍

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Nice, clear video 👍 and you're forgiven 😂

[@tinacain1145]

good choice of lino there :)

[@grumpy_old_man426]

just a thought, could you rig up a switch on the sensor and have a cold air option?

[@marksmith5156]

Yours is the 1st display I've seen you can read if I want to do anything on our heater that involves the display im outside in the dark

[@plan-D-DK]

Just a comment on your S tube, if you need a bend in the out end of it, its recommended to have atleast 3 feet before bending, as it can "blow back" and make faults, yours is straight out to an S, which potentially can cause problems as well :)

[@simplycampervanconversions]

I was also always led to believe this, however they send these bends from factory.

[@iannorth5958]

Mine started blowing today Will give this a go Thanks Just editing 15 minutes later as it’s fixed😀 Removed the temp sensor as per instructions and a then put it back and it’s working fine👍 Probably shaken loose by a pothole??

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Sometimes a reset will fix it for a while, hopefully forever in your case 👍

Hi, do you have a new link to the sensor please... Original listing is no longer available... Thanks

[@mattsmith2051]

Does the temperature sensor dictate glow plug voltage?

[@carlos_sacalul]

Hi thanks for share with us,on my heater i have fluctuations fan speed up and down sometimes but it worked a while but now i have e06 wich means fan short or temp sensor short and heater stops. I start it again works about one hour and stops again. what do you think about it? what i have to check or replace?thanks man. cheers

[@simplycampervanconversions]

E-06 usually indicates a low voltage. I would check your batteries have enough charge.

Does anyone know of a place who do repairs to diesel heaters around Bedfordshire/Hertfodshire North London area. My sprinter van came with a built in night heater that runs off the main diesel tank but it keeps turning itself off and mostly just blows cold air.

[@simplycampervanconversions]

We are based in North Lincolnshire so a fair distance from you, it does sound like a temp sensor though.

[@tillyzac8615]

Hey there, great video. Question: Where do I get a replacement sensor from

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Thanks, from eBay just search “night heater temperature sensor”

[@alanstalker8298]

@@simplycampervanconversions Mine was 2 pin housing so I ordered a new one with 2 pin housing.

[@silverfox--08]

Hi there mate. My heater is just blowing cold air as it has not been used for a bit. The fuel pump is also not pumping. Is this to do with heat sensor? Or a new heater ? Cheers bud

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Sounds like a classic temp sensor that bud.

[@MikeandLisasExcellentAdventure]

Mine blows cold as well. But also turns its self on by itself. I disconnected from the battery and let it sit overnight. The next day I reattached to battery and it seemed to work fine so I shut it off. a few hours later i checked and it had turned itself on again and was just blowing cold air. Any ideas on this? Thanks

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Yes this is the temp sensor. Finding them running and blowing cold air is a common symptom. Sometimes they will work when rebooted but they generally stop working again.

[@MikeandLisasExcellentAdventure]

@@simplycampervanconversions thanks!

[@mattmarkey3959]

Changed the temperature sensor. It worked for about 2 hours then started blowing cold air again. Do you think I need to replace the temp sensor again? Why does it keep going through these temp sensors if so? Thank you

[@marksmith5156]

Could be the glow plug we purchased a spare the the special cut away socket to go with it for ease

[@janestockdale-powell6591]

couldn't find the link for the heat sensor replacement, are they the same for the KW2.0 and the KW5.0?

What size battery. motorbike battery can i use and will a 2amp charger do .. to run this in my house

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Any 12v car battery will be fine if connected to a charger and in good health.

[@jjcale1976]

I have a problem after turning off the heater, the fan does not stop working, it blows cold air constantly and does not turn off. I had to turn off the power after 30 minutes so as not to charge the battery in the van.

[@simplycampervanconversions]

This sounds like a temp sensor issue for sure.

[@bigcreator]

What if your heater is getting slightly warm but not hot?

[@simplycampervanconversions]

Do you have it turned down on the controller?

[@IanJesting]

@@simplycampervanconversions mine is only getting to the third bar no matter what heat level. Do you think it's the temp sensor? Would greatly appreciate any advice. It's cold out here! It has also shown error code e-08. I've tried priming it and it just smokes a bunch and never gets past 3 bars

[@interestinglyinterested7972]

Mine has this problem but says error code 1, low voltage, even though there's at least 13v to the heater...

[@Snailmailtrucker]

I've had my Chinese Air Heater for about 3 years.. no problems at all until recently.... just began Not Firing up like normal... it will start as it should every other time I try to fire it up. When it fails to start .... It smokes like hell outside of my van... so I watch and when I see it starting to smoke at Startup... I shut it off immediately...wait about 5 or 10 minutes and try again... it has always started as it should on the 2nd. attempt. Probably the Igniter and screen...just too lazy to dig into it...yet !

thank you. its for a friend so wanted to be sure

[@markbargery1219]

Can someone help I’ve fitted a Chinese diesel heater it just smokes and doesn’t fire up

[@simplycampervanconversions]

White smoke is usually a sign of over priming, however it fires up. Do you have any error codes?

[@markbargery1219]

@@simplycampervanconversions It did have error code e8

[@markbargery1219]

Sorry 0 8 code

@@simplycampervanconversions e/8

[@simplycampervanconversions]

@@markbargery1219 that’s strange so, white smoke emplies you have over primed the heater (you should stop the prime just before the fuel reaches the heater) but e-08 is saying you don’t have enough fuel in the heater. Check the lines and make sure there is fuel running right to the heater. What colour fuel line do you have.

[@beverleymeakin9867]

Can you send link I can't see it

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Just put temp sensor for diesel heater into ebay. You can always double check with the seller to make sure they are right for your heater. Current price (7.12.22) seems to be about £6 approx.

[@tiloschmidt5665]

Simply replacing the sensor means you might be replacing it with another unreliable sensor. I found the problem with the sensor is unreliable crimps at the sensor end. Remove the sensor from the heater. Now gently pull the wires out of the crimped connection at the sensor end and solder the wires together instead. This will permanently fix the problem!

[@WanderingTheWainwrights]

So solder wires together and bypass the sensor completely??

[@HamudyCars]

@@WanderingTheWainwrights I don't think that is what he meant, the sensor is very important to tell it how how the heater is and when to shut of and turn on etc. I think what is meant is pull the wires out of the crimps that are joining them to the sensor and solder them directly to the sensor instead of the crimps connecting them to the sensor.

[@alanhat5252]

1:28 sometimes they're just confused, not actually broken. Turn them off, wait a few seconds, turn them on again. If you've tried this half a dozen times & they still don't work then you can declare it broken.

[@sophieavison4614]

How do you turn them off and on again?

[@alanhat5252]

@@sophieavison4614 put a switch in the power lead or pull its fuse out.

[@timothyortiz2222]

WTF, cheap crap sensor. Is almost new!

[@simplycampervanconversions]

The heater costs £100 or less, the sensor a few quid. The other option is a £700 erberspacher. It’s a no brained for me I take the cheap crap sensor any day.
