Interesting stuff.
the first chinese heater I bought never worked properly and I think if I followed your guide I might be able to fix it
As Arnie says ..... I'll be back

Without this site I would not have been able to rewire mine after cutting all the original wiring out leaving a gap of a year before returning to it with a blank memory.
Lesson, document everything

A good Squirrel guide, I will tackle this at some point.
I also need to silence my air intake that draws air from inside, without measuring I would say it’s around 100mm pipe and sounds like a jet readying for take off on startup and shutdown.

In Murky I wanted to circulate the air as much as possible. The original build had an eberspacher, but it had been removed by the time I got it. What was left behind the drivers seat was a little dog kennel. I mounted this just behind the front drivers wheel arch and put a foam filter inside it. This is the my setup air intake, you may have noticed the eberspacher is in the redundant drivers step. Being so far away from the habitation area helps with the noise. You get a low howl from the outlets still.

Yes I think moving the intake to the front and a foam silencer would help, currently located in habitation entrance steps so fairly central. I will add it to my list of revisions (first timer build errors) The erberspacher itself is in an external locker like betty so we hardly hear that.

Well I have to admit to my lack of success. The naughty heater is still turning itself off! I checked my wiring diagrams and I do have a diagnostic wire. My controller has a diagnostic function. My wiring loom does not have a spare wire The original controller was volvo and did not have the diagnostic function. So back to stone age testing. I've been trying to get it to run continuously at lower and lower temperatures. Finally today I succeeded. I hope this proves it's a faulty over temp sensor. New one ordered. I might when I go to fit it try and pull another wire through the loom for the diagnostic function to work.

New over temperature sensor arrived yesterday from Poland! Yes Poland not Poundland. Fitted it yesterday and it's been running all day keeping Murky at a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius.
