    Mounting chinese diesel heater on VW T5

    Hi Jason, just looked for parts this is the chassis mounting plate you will need from ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372970011045?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=d712-VbKTEK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ytqc-k-4SQi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY And this is the pickup unit you will...

    Mounting chinese diesel heater on VW T5

    Sorry Jason I did that over a year ago, but if you google T5 diesel tank pick up for diesel heater, you will find the pick up that has a far smaller dimension than the standard 3/4 inch pick up, this allows you to fit it in between pick up and return pipes for the engine supply. As I mentioned...

    Strange 3 way fridge 12 volt electrical problem

    He seems to have sorted it Phil by replacing the inline fuse. Phil

    Strange 3 way fridge 12 volt electrical problem

    To test the pug just measure voltage at the fridge with the engine running if no voltage then yes the plug could be the culprit. Disconnect the Caravan and test for voltage directly from the car side of the plug. Phil P.s. Making sure ofcourse that you test the fridge/charge wire and not lights.

    Strange 3 way fridge 12 volt electrical problem

    First things first Tam, have you checked that alternator voltage which should be a minimum of 13volts is arriving at the fridge 12volt heater terminals when the engine is running and disappears when engine is switched off. If there is no voltage when the engine is running then there could be a...

    DVLHey

    I've said from the start that electric vans will have to have an allowance made for load capacity due to the very heavy batteries that vans will have to have to allow for load and distance. Can you imagine the problems of organisations like DpD, Amazon, DHL and others trying to get drivers that...

    Adding a 3rd seat to 1999 fiat ducato

    :giggle: This van has now been sold as he hasn't got the time due to work load and new house move, as there was not sufficient space at the new home to park the van and his and his wife's cars so the van had to go. Apparently the new owner is over the moon with it. Phil

    Water heating connect

    Quite frankly I've never had the need for non return valves, all systems that I have installed have been with a pressurised system and out of five that have been installed never has water gone back to the tank the pump valves have been more than efficient 🤷‍♂️ as Mark says with all these no...

    Low solar panel yield

    Ahh I notice the float voltage is set at 13.8 volts and on your initial post it shows that the voltage has never reached the float voltage set in your app. Try setting the float voltage down to 13.6 volts over the summer months but initially during winter set it at 13.5 or 13.3 just to make...

    Low solar panel yield

    Yes your not wrong on that one Houdini, I have no idea why it has not gone to float maybe as your batteries are showing full charge you should wait till the sun starts shining in spring to see if that changes. Phil P.s. I suppose you have set the voltages correctly in the Victrone app ?

    Low solar panel yield

    I could be wrong but I think you'll find that as the battery gets to full charge the Victron will decrease the wattage going to the battery, so if the battery decreases in voltage the panels will supply extra wattage up to the max available due to the amount of solar available ofcourse. I have...

    Strange 3 way fridge 12 volt electrical problem

    Hmmm, it would seem to me that your looking for a double coincidental fault, if the 20amp liesure battery fuse doesn't have any affect to the fridge electronics then there would seem to be a separate fault, especially as you say there is no connection to the fridge heating element. As to the...
