Hi Friends,
I just installed a new Cube type 25L Quick calorifier on my B361. As it was a like for like unit the install was pretty straight forward. However, the replacement does not have a bleed point at the top on the engine "cooling out", as per the old heater.
After filling and bleeding the heater with fresh water and checking the electrical immersion side worked fine, I then assumed if I took the radiator cap off and opened the "engine coolant" stop valves on the engine side the internal coil within the heater would fill itself by gravity, no such luck!! I tried running the engine for a minute with the rad cap loose but this failed to work too.
Both out and return coolant pipes from the engine are located just below the main coolant tank and exit near the water pump itself. Both are around 2 - 3 ft higher than the heater.
All and any suggestions would be appreciated.
