Hi, this is for my dads swift kontiki, he has been told his hot water heater element is faulty, unfortunately they don’t make this style anymore and will need a new tank and heater £1000 plus fitting🤔 surely this part must exist either at a breakers or maybe reconditioned. The element on this tank is supposed to be like a band that wraps round the tank rather than pushes into the tank. Could any of you experienced folks help me out. The van is I think 2004 ish

You will need to tell us the make and model of the water heater, a photo would help as well.

I assume it is a Truma C6002E Combi, you can still get the heater collars for them they are about £400. But it could just be a faulty thermal cut out those are about 6 quid.

Probably not worth fitting a new collar just run on gas, every van we have had the Combi boiler has been gas only.

Hi, yes it is a c6002eh truma trumatic combo boiler, where would I source a heater collar? Rarer than hens teeth I assume. Is there a new boiler that is a direct replacement?

Replacement would be a Truma Combi 6E if you want to retain the electrical element of the system, it will be considerably more expensive than your previous quote and not a straightforward drop in replacement.

If it’s the same as my Truma c3402 which has a rubber belt element, mine stopped working.
I watched YouTube video on fixing the thermal fuse but my thermal fuse was ok, mine was a faulty thermal cutout switch. Replaced that and all’s good. Cost around £6 but most of that was postage cost.
