Local Help Required Please !!!

Post by kanewesley » Wed Mar 01, 2017 8:41 am

Hi, I have a BMW software suite and tinkered about with INPA to try and get my car warmed up for me for 5am using the webasto heater unit.
Initially I only had aux ventillation available and when I set this to come on at 4:30am all I got was cold air in the car.
I tried INPA to switch aux heater on.
now, when I start the car I get masses of white smoke belching out which looks horrifying so much, that I ran out and disconnected bith electrical plugs on the heater.
Is there anyone pretty local to me who is a software wizzard who may help me please?
I live in East Yorks. witha doncaster postcode and can travel anywhere really if someone has a bit of time to spare. :(
Thank You.

There's loads of info on the webasco heaters on the forum, one is about 10 pages long and covers all the problems from
Injectors to the PCB inside. Loads of rhem out there that don't work at all, some run and don't get hot, some belch out bleach smoke others smell of unburnt fuel. Just use the search button and type in Webasco
