fuel driven heater dead

[bigggan]

Now when the cold has really come and ive been using the engine heater almost everyday before i go to work, but now its not working at all.

first symptoms was that some times the car was cold when i went to my car, at first i though i forgot setting the clock previous day but then it happend more and more.
Also i noticed that when i start the car with cold engine it would just run a few seconds before it shut down (lots of smoke from the wheelwell), this happend a couple times before a message in dashboard that it needs service and its completly off.

well, get it fixed then.
Ive no idea how to

Usual cause of these heaters failing is
A) blocked nozzle on injector /carbon build up deflecting fuel spray
B) Glowplug igniter not getting hot enough to ignite fuel spray
C) fuel pump stuffed & not enough pressure to atomise fuel for ignition .


For guidance refer to https://www.eberspacher.com/ for dealers/service agents

They know way more than volvo & they normally are the people who stealerships employ to resolve aux heater faults

Also find a local HGV repairers & ask who does their heater servicing
