Ebespacher D3L control box

[Dunx]

Can anyone help. I need to source a new control unit for a D3L. The current one has a failure in the fuel pump pulse sender.

Can the unit be repaired? Does anyone have any contacts for this sort of repair, failing that does anyone have one for sale?

Many thanks

I haven't heard of people repairing control boxes, although I guess it's feasible. New ones are available, but they're around £300. I'd suggest asking some Eberspacher dealers if they have any used ones from condemned heaters. Colchester Fuel Injection is a good Eber dealer.

I have the same problem. Colchester Fuel injection advise that this unit is obsolete. I'm still looking, if I find a source (of more than one ) I'll post.

Butler Tecknik are listing it online as apparently available, see https://sales.butlertechnik.com/hea...eberspacher-d3l-control-unit-12v-251688500005

You'd need to clarify that this control unit would work with your D3L, as there were a couple of different part numbers for these control units, and they probably behave slightly differently.

The original control box (part 20 1607 50 00 00) fitted 12v heaters with part numbers starting 25 1482, 25 1552 and 25 1640. This box is listed as in stock at Hall's Electrical, see http://www.hallselectrical.co.uk/control-box-12v-d3l-nla.html

The later control box (part 25 1688 50 00 05) fitted 12v heaters with part number starting 25 1738, and this is the box offered by Butler Tecknik in my first link.

The card comes out of the unit easily. I have had several Where the only problem was the circuit on the board had corroded away; easy fix, other issues were just resistors which even I managed to replace. have a look.

I've had mine apart and there is nothing obvious although the rubber packing inside was perished and all over the PCB. Units now decoked and serviced, ECU cleaned out so I will give it another go tomorrow and let you know.

Many thanks

Don't belive the bull that Eberspacher spout, THEY ARE REPAIRABLE, it is just that the agents do not have the expertise to do the job. I took our D3L for repair to the local service agent in Preston and they said it was dead and to buy a complete new heater.

I tested the box as far as I could and came to the conclusion that pump control citcuit was the problem. It was and I had it repaired for £50 by an electronics man who now has a computer controlled test proceedure for these units. The heater has run for some 300 hours since then.
I had a duff old control one given to me and had that repaired as well to keep as a spare.

The newer controllers are not repairable as they so you have had it they conk, which they seem to do all too regularly.
