Today in the cold

macafee2 · 14th December 2018, 10:03

Today in the cold I've decided to fit an FBH to the Tourer. I got the FBH from a scrap yard last year or the year before as a spare for my saloon.
Paid I think about £25-30 for it with a dozing pump.

With it being so cold and short days I doubt I'll finish today as I'll probably need to come inside as I have now, to warm my hands.

I so hope the FBH works.

Hardest job could be lifting the seat cushion up which I'll leave up as I have three other jobs to do involving it.

Oooh, good work! Please could you make a few notes to assist others (if it's not already been done) as I also have a FBH in the garage, awaiting fitment!

Jolly good luck with it

more then welcome to pm me any questions. I'll check Arctics link and add anything to this thread or the one Arctic refers to.

having a break as back and hands cold.

Seat came up very easily, never had a seat so easy. Hardest part was removing the blanking bit between the two pipes for the dozing pump. Even feeding the power down to the pump was not to bad. I went down the front of the fuel tank but on the right side having threaded a bit of coat hanger wire up from below. I taped the power to the coat hanger and pulled it through.
With the help of my son sucking the fuel line in the engine bay I flashed 12v from a scalextric transformer across the pump terminals and I now have fuel at the engine bay.

a warm drink and a pee and I'll fit the webasto.

Well worth doing, mine's now working fine, with a simple remote too. It was £15 and £10 for the dosing pump. Pot luck if they work I guess but all help you need is on this forum. The how to that Steve (arctic) put together and advice from Devilish proved invaluable.

I've just read Artics How To, follow that I did it a bit in reverse as I did the pump first and made sure I had fuel at the engine bay before fitting the webasto, see above.

well is all in but not working.
I have a thread in the technical section as I'm missing wires in the fuse box.

I think you will find the wires you want aren't in the fuse box, but tucked away between the fusebox and the front nearside corner of the battery box.

I have those two plugs, apparently the wires i'm missing are for a parking heater and not the FBH. I thought they were the same thing, doh
