Narrowboat Webasto diagnostics

A quick check on a Webasto Thermotop C

I think we recognise that fine looking vessel😂. What a cracking video, and a great job! The webasto has run incredibly smoothly since. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and slowly getting my head around the black magic that is narrowboat electrics. Next job, upgrade the domestic battery bank, lead carbon or lithium.. More reading required! Thanks again 👍

[@narrowboatelectrician]

Ah yes! I hadn't realized you were KZbinrs now! Both good choices. With LC they are an easy fit, and maybe with an alternator to battery charger as icing on cake. Thats what I have. Of course lithium will work wonders but you'll have to did deep into those pockets and think about location, lifestyle and get used to a bit more of a complex system.

Would have been nice to see the voltage with the glow plug running once you changed the plugs. Great vid as always 👍

[@narrowboatelectrician]

Yep, cant argue with that. As I'm often keen to get jobs completed, I do miss the odd thing when I come to edit. I promise to try harder lol

[@Dirt-Diggler]

Great video chap 👍 You are so far away from the crap i do it's not even funny 😭 you use a laptop and diagnostic programs, i fit points to old ford anglia engines 🤣🤣 Keep em coming, i for one love to see "how the other half live" 👍 christ even the boatyard is upmarket compared to the hovels i end up in 😂😂

[@narrowboatelectrician]

Thank you Mark

Great video always enjoy them, you commented on that the heater did not smoke, I have webasto but smokes on startup should I be worried thanks again Rich

[@narrowboatelectrician]

Hi Rich, It will often relate to the condition of the burner, as they get older they may produce a bit more smoke on start up. It is clear when running full load? When was burner last changed?

[@ricksoftmedia5825]

@@narrowboatelectrician Howdy, the burner has never been replaced in 14 years but not used that much and after startup burns clean just on cold start up quite Smokey. On another note wonder where you are based you never know when I might need something thanks for the reply Rich

[@ricksoftmedia5825]

Checked the web site know where abouts you are when it dies I will give a ring enjoy your holidays thanks Rich

great vid find them informative, water in the box you dont consider that a problem?

[@narrowboatelectrician]

Hi Peter, it wasn’t but could be. The drain holes around the deck are clogged up, causing the channel to overflow into engine bay. I informed custody of that who is going to clear them out. It’s not a weather proof box that’s been installed.
