Galaxy Man Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Posted January 23, 2006 tryu trevor@fordpartsuk.com they do cheeper ford bits. you may save a bit/ Thanks for that, I will give them a go. Would I be correct in saying that without this pump working the Aux heater would do nothing at all, not even make a noise before it shuts down? What I am hoping is that when I renew this pump the heater should work again. Quote
marinabrid Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 tricky one, what about rigging a small pipe with fuel in to pump into the heater to see if oat hapens ? i think the heater should ask the pump for fuel at start up, from my experience both a 97 and a 98 year heater have never shut down by the ecu so i would have though that you may get the whizzing noise by the fan motor trying to start the unit ,but no fuel means it wont fire. its elimination game thats wot im doing at the mo. only other thing is heater off link the water pipes with 22mm copper pipe and send it for checking to a eberspacher dealer or the ford diagnostic may tell you the problem...maybe. thats another Quote
Masked Marauder Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 The electronics in the heater can tell if a component is missing and not try to start if it is not there. Whether this is the case with the metering pump or not, I don't know. Quote
