Eberspacher controller 701 is obsolete

[yelbis]

Please advise if anyone has an old eberspacher timer lying around. I am told the only unit that will operate my type D2 is a 701 10 003.

I have tried Ebay but zero success, plus nowadays the prices people want do not reflect reality.

Just spent 200 quid on a full recondition of heater itself and the up arrow on the timer has packed up during re-installation.

Thanks

Item out of stock. I think that was the point.

OOps, missed the out of stock bit

No worries Paul, I very nearly did the same thing

That’s got me worried. It’s the timer/controller we’ve got.

They are extremely reliable though, so unlikely to need replacement. We have one too so all in the same "boat". I believe it can be bypassed by connecting two pins in the loom, certainly that's a valid startup test method.

It, or an equivalent, appears to be in stock here Eberspacher 701 Diagnostic Timer Controller For Airtronics

Thanks all, It was technical department at servicing that stated they were now obsolete and that they could sell me a mock up of two timers for £117 but it sounded messy.
perhaps these are out of stock at places for some upcoming reason??

Krueger probably have heaps of second hand units that they have replaced over the years

I have a 701 somewhere, but not sure of the exact part number, i'll see if i can dig it out, i have no need of it now as my "new" boat has Webasto heaters.

With this in mind your button can probably be repaired so worth hanging on to or selling on ebay for spares if they are no longer made

 

[PaulRainbow]

Pretty sure that all you need is a basic controller and a cheap timer. You wire the timer across two wires from the controller, as kind of mentioned in post #7.

I did this with the D3L on a previous bot, worked perfectly.

Better to fix with the proper one though, otherwise you end up with random holes in the boat from differing screw patterns Almost worse than broken heating!
