Hey all,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a non-starting diesel heater on a recently acquired 05/06 L322. Before I go taking too much apart, I was hoping someone could tell me the location of the diesel fuel pump which supplies fuel to the diesel heater.

Is it attached to or located close to the heater unit itself in the front of the vehicle or is it somewhere else in the vehicle nearer the fuel tank?


Diagnostics is telling me I have a short to ground relating to the diesel heater.

The heater appears to attempt a startup sequence for 2 mins and then shuts down.

I can hear it's fan running during this time but cant hear a clicking/tapping noise which i'd expect the fuel pump to make (but maybe i'm listening in the wrong place ?!)

My guess at this stage is a fault with the water pump, diesel fuel pump or glow plug , any tips or suggestions welcomed. Is there a Westabo maintenance manual available for download somewhere?

You can get a fob for remote on/off if you have the receiver in the boot, next to the rear fuse box

Some info here on how both @kds and I did it, and what we used. kds's solution was better as it had a built in timer.

Sorry @backinblack only just seen you tagged me on this thread, took the Vellman kit out the 53 plate RR and fitted it in the 08 RR I have now even though it has the telestart unit fitted I could`nt find a remote for a decent price at the time. I disconnected the telestart and wired in the Vellman as before and it works just the same, nice to see the frost melting off the screen after the FBH has done it`s thing before you drive off.
