Default Is my webasto dead?

Hello everyone.

Sorry for jumping in your forum.

I have a thermo top c and I'm trying to get it to work, most ( if not all ) the info iv read about has come from this forum so I thought I would ask direct.

I am confused as to applying 12v or ground to pin 1 or pin 3.
And what is classed as old or new model.
The sticker on mine says 66724b.

The heater is from a bmw e53 x5.
I have connected it up thermo test software and can only talk to it when I select Thermo top c/z bmw.

Any help will greatly appreciated.

Andy.

Hi mike. Thank you for the reply.

That's a shame as when I stripped it down the burn chamber and water jacket looked nearly new inside, no carbon at all!

So does it have to be one from a rover 75 to use manually?

If posting a request for the PCB doesn't work on here then I guess it's down to your nearest car breaker.

Hi.

Just an update.

So the rover 75 heater has just been delivered to my work.
I have opened up the box and the model number is 98570c and not 98570b as was advertised. Will this be a problem.

Thanks.

Andy.
