Subject:      H2 replace glow plug on diesel Eberspacher
Comments: To: robin.oomkes@EURONET.NL

Hi Robin,

It's been a while since I had an Eberspa"cher installed, but I
think your job is easy. Just unscrew the big bottom pan. The
glow plug is located near the 10cm diam bulge with a black rubber
cap on it (that's the combustion blower). If it's hart to get out
with the heater installed, you could get some more manuevering room
by loosening the screws for the three rubber mounts and let the
whole unit hang from the front and rear ducts.

Good luck and Happy New Year!

        boxes. It's a daunting task to put all the pieces together)

                                Hello,

                                I've tried the archives, I know it
                                must be there, but I can't get at
                                it...

                                My Eberspacher diesel heater has been
                                diagnosed with a faulty glow plug.
                                I've ordered the plug from VW and can
                                pick it up tomorrow. As I've never
                                opened the heater up myself (yet), has
                                anyone got any hints on how to do
                                this? Can you leave the heater under
                                the van and just take off the cover?
                                Do you need to take it off completely?

                                Thanks for any help.
