Capacitors replace battery in historic SUZUKI DR600 travel bike|No more dying battery after winter
I replaced the every dying lead batteries with an inexpensive capacitor board in my old SUZUKI DR600 motorcycle, without electric starter. This should put an end to permanently replacing the battery on the rarely used bike. I also don't have to worry about connecting the battery on a trickle charger when not used. This hack should work on any bike without electric starter. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTlRbFWdD2E
My plan is to use a completely different fuel pump on my Chinese Diesel heater. The loud clicking of the piston pump does not allow us to sleep in the camper truck with the heater on. I'm not quite sure, if my attempt will be successful. Possibly I will have to change the entire controller of the heater and write my own Arduino program to control motor and glow plug as well as reading out the thermo sensor.
In this first part of the video, I will have a closer look at the used components and the quality of my Chinese Diesel heater. What makes Eberspächer, Webasto, Autotherm and Planar heaters different to this Chinese brand? If you have a broken Diesel heater, no matter what brand, you are welcome to send it to me. I would make a video about it and if your are lucky, I can even fix it. We could all learn from it.
Correction: I was informed that Autoterm (Planar) is not a Russian company as it was my impression, but a company from the Czech Republic. Sorry about this mistake.

We had an issue with the horn signal of the Dacia Lodgy. Apparently that is a common problem on Dacias. In this video I will show how easy it is to exchange it.

The clicking of the Diesel Heater pump is annoying. To prevent that, I exchanged the original piston pump with a non clicking peristaltic pump. Unfortunately it is also necessary to replace the controller and write my own control program for the Arduino.
See if my tuned Chinese Diesel heater will start and run, so I can heat my Mercedes 814 fire truck camper in the future.

Since I could not find a good explanation about how to dismantle the EGR for a Mercedes Vito with 2.2 liter Diesel engine, I figured out myself, how to do it without special tools. To help others with the same issue I made this video.
Deutsch: Da ich zum Thema Ausbau des AGR Ventils, beim Vito W639 mit 2.2l Diesel Motor, keine Anleitung finden konnte, wie dieses Ventil ohne Spezialwerkzeug auszubauen ist, habe ich dieses Video gemacht, um anderen in der gleichen Situation zu helfen.

The whole family always hated to set up the cheaply made but expensively sold outside kitchen when camping. The new solution is set up and ready to cook in seconds. I built this pull-out kitchen all from existing scrap parts that were laying around in the basement.
In this video I will also show the progress I made with the build of the Mercedes 814 camping truck that is based on a German LF8 historic firetruck.
