ametcalfe1989 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 The only way I can describe this leak is it is pissing coolant from underneath the car! Even without pressure. Every pipe I've got from Ebay seems to be the wrong fit for the car. 1) where do I buy the pipe from?2) is there a quick fix for while I await a replacement pipe? Ie k-seal? Does that work? Lol Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gordy Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I removed my auxiliary heater and replaced it with a loop of hose. You could do same by cutting out the rotten tube and replacing with hose. Not sure size of hose at mo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 VOYAGER1 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Here's a picture of the heater thats below and the hoses. So is leak from heater or pipes that go up to engine. If heater its Goosed. I have the same heater. Since it is too noisy like bearing sound or boiling something inside, I have unplugged and am not using that. Do you have an idea why it is too noisy? Is it normal to hear some noise from that heater? If it's not usual noise, can I fix it? Edited February 6, 2020 by VOYAGER1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I've never heard mine though I do hear it when it switches off. The burn bowl on the 'WaterTop' should expell it's burnt/unburned fuel into the mini-exhaust system. Certainly they contain [disposable/replaceable] filters/bearings that will cause noise/vibration. I've never attempted repair on Webasto but have certainly done Erberspatcher air tops several times. Sorry if I can't offer more info for you. Best wishes.

0 gordy Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Here's the inside spagetti if interested. There is a printed circuit board in there as well. In the case of mine the heat transfer chamber was fractured, that's the ribbed chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks for the graphics, they always speak a thousand words. Fracture in a chamber, that's a proper sod, hope you can effect a repair. Webasto's are major boost for a great big 3 litre cold lump of engine and cheaper MPG in the winter. Must say it's the first fracture I've heard of from anyone or from posts here and elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1) where do I buy the pipe from?
