You saved my life, for me it was only a bad electric contact on terminal. Thank you so much!

Great video, thanks. I thought my diesel heater was shot but I managed to fix it in 10 minutes following this video, with a £5 replacement heat sensor.

Fixed my heater by changing the temp sensor thanks for the instructions. My heater had 2 pins and a 2-pin housing but the 3-pin housing on the replacement worked fine.

Fantastic,mines ok at moment but love having this in my library.

Mine wasn't getting hot and then started going error-08 flame out. Thought either temperature sensor or glow plug but decided to try the simplest thing first. Remove the muffler. Not expecting it to actually work but it did. 😂

Good job, the hole on mine broke off when i unclipped it out so have had to glue the sensor back in

Great help, thanks for sharing

You made that look easy I've got farmers hands like banana fingers I wish there was a way to control the fan speed at startup to stop cold air blowing until reaching a certain temperature👍👍

Nice, clear video 👍 and you're forgiven 😂

good choice of lino there :)

just a thought, could you rig up a switch on the sensor and have a cold air option?

Yours is the 1st display I've seen you can read if I want to do anything on our heater that involves the display im outside in the dark

Just a comment on your S tube, if you need a bend in the out end of it, its recommended to have atleast 3 feet before bending, as it can "blow back" and make faults, yours is straight out to an S, which potentially can cause problems as well :)

Hi thanks for share with us,on my heater i have fluctuations fan speed up and down sometimes but it worked a while but now i have e06 wich means fan short or temp sensor short and heater stops.

Mine blows cold as well. But also turns its self on by itself. I disconnected from the battery and let it sit overnight.

Yes this is the temp sensor. Finding them running and blowing cold air is a common symptom. Sometimes they will work when rebooted but they generally stop working again.

Check the lines and make sure there is fuel running right to the heater. What colour fuel line do you have.

Just put temp sensor for diesel heater into ebay. You can always double check with the seller to make sure they are right for your heater. Current price (7.12.22) seems to be about £6 approx.

Simply replacing the sensor means you might be replacing it with another unreliable sensor. I found the problem with the sensor is unreliable crimps at the sensor end. Remove the sensor from the heater. Now gently pull the wires out of the crimped connection at the sensor end and solder the wires together instead. This will permanently fix the problem!

@@WanderingTheWainwrights I don't think that is what he meant, the sensor is very important to tell it how how the heater is and when to shut of and turn on etc. I think what is meant is pull the wires out of the crimps that are joining them to the sensor and solder them directly to the sensor instead of the crimps connecting them to the sensor.

1:28 sometimes they're just confused, not actually broken. Turn them off, wait a few seconds, turn them on again. If you've tried this half a dozen times & they still don't work then you can declare it broken.
