ardic service

[hanbrowes]

hi, my ardic heater has stopped working. Will not power up and blow hot air. Have read some posts about glow plugs and service, but not been able to sort this!
any help appreciated.

Seem to remember something about running them on parrafin for short time to give them a decoke.

The similar problem I encountered with my Ardic heater was that repeated false starts caused it to lock and unlocking could only be achieved by sending the cpu to the dealer. Espar in Plymouth. Service was very good however after having to get this done twice in quick succession and still having issues with the heaters reliability I ended up replacing it. (went the Mykuni route and not regretted it)

Exactly what I did, Ardic was awful, Mikuni never missed a beat, best thing I ever did on my previous boat.
