We are told that the Truma Combi D6 [diesel run air and water heater] in our van [still under warranty] requires a new glow plug to make it work...
Our local Truma service outlet [ well trusted ...long relationship with them] tell us that Truma are willing to pay for the cost of the part and one hour's labour.
Needless to say [as in most campers and caravans ] the D6 is well tucked away and will involve up to 4 hours labour to remove and refit....having done the easy first stages myself I can see why.
We will have to pay the difference..life I guess.
Truma say they will pay the labour to cover the cost of fitting the new glow plug as if the unit was " on the bench".
I'd suggest that there are very few of their heaters etc etc that are situated on a bench.
Last year the same unit had a PCB control unit replaced under warranty...no extra charges happily.
I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies...
Does anyone make vans that don't use Truma units?
I've seen lots of posts calling them Trauma .. I get it now.
