    Run the Webasto circulation pumps but don’t let it fire up, you will burn out the high temp limit fuse.

    3greens is Powercool a extended life coolant? I thought it wasn’t.

    Webasto is one thing I have not messed with much other than to see if it would fire up ( it did but smokey ) so am not sure the procedure on a Marathon to just run the circ pumps…do you have diasble the flame? I will investigate and try that.

    Not sure if the Powercool is long life, I suspect it is not but I plan to change it out yearly or about every 80K or so. I did this with DexCool on my Duramax…they say 150k miles or five years but I found draining it every 75k and adding in fresh kept everything in good shape, no water pump issues or head gaskets etc etc. I will get the test strips and check it at every oil change.

    Actually what you need to do and make sure to do it is purge your webasto heat chamber before turning it on. On the top of the webasto is a nipple looking hexs bolt. You need to loosen that bolt until you got get a steady stream of coolant. After putting in a bearing kit and new fuel pump I failed to do that and I melted the fuse that going into that chamber. If you purge you would not have to wrong about disconnecting wires.
