peterandirene Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My Autocruise Starspirit has an Eberspacher D2 heater. It is very good but some people complain about the noise outside. It is noisy when it starts up but soon settles down. Had the van 7 years and this year it broke down for the first time. It was a faulty ECU which cost £410 to replace including fitting . I believe that a lot of HGV drivers use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 suntrecker38 - 2012-03-10 4:22 PM Does anyone know anything about the diesel space heater that is it to the Autocruise M/H (Dreamstar) How it works and is it any good I think the Stardream used an Eberspacher "Combitronic" system that heated water as well as air. There's some earlier forum threads here: http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/search/query.asp?action=search&searchforumid=all&keywords=combitronic&author=&days=&Submit=Search GOOGLEing using "Eberspacher Combitronic" (omitting the quote-marks) will retrieve a lot more stuff.

Rod_vw Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 If the heater is an Eberspacher there may be help here http://www.eberspacher.com/support-and-downloads/technical-documents.html An Eberspacher has a ID sticker on it which will tell you what version you have.

Rayjsj Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi, I take it you mean a Stardream ? we have got an Eberspacher D5 Combitronic Space Heater and Hot water system,in our Autocruise Starburst. very pleased with it, like being able to use it 'on the move' can be heavy on battery power, but otherwise prefer it to previous van which had a 'Carver/truma' system. recommend it.

suntrecker38 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thank you for your replies on this matter. We bought the Motorhome last week and pick it up this, not having come across this type of heater before was a bit wary about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinklystarfish Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The dealer (or previous owner) should talk you through the various on-board functions. Get them to specifically show you how the diesel heater works and where all the fuses / switches / controls for it are. They are nothing to fear and mostly reliable things - truckers have used them for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crinklystarfish Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Quite right, I'm not generally prone to overestimating my fellow man but on this occasion fear I may have slipped to the dark side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
