I have on board an Ardic 042D diesel fired warm air heating system. Recently the domestic battery went flat whilst using the warm air blower. I have replaced both batteries with brand new fully charged batteries but the heater wont light. It goes through its. We have pre-engineered replacement systems using Wallas heaters and offer a significant discount for Ardic owners seeking to replace their heaters. In most cases, the Ardic 041D, 42D and 432D heaters can be replaced by Wallas model 30GB or 40Dt heaters with a minimum of effort, giving you clean, reliable forced air heat using new technology.
Here's a nice post about removing and servicing Ardic. (Sorry, instructions only in Finnish).Here's an explosion diagram of Ardic. Year is 2003, but seems to be identical to mine. Taken from Finnish Volvo forum, topic designated to Ardic problems.. |
Here's the big guy itself after removing the front bumper. Inferring from the rusted screws I would think this thing hasn't been serviced in years, maybe never during the 10 years this thing existed. There has been quite many previous owners and according to the owner history database, each of them had this car only little bit over 2 years. |
After one hour of careful separation process in -6C, we can continue disassembly inside in room temperature! |
Glow plug, water pump and outer shell removed. |
Testing the glow plug. Intact, as I suspected. |
Inner shell shell removed, revealing chunks of soot attached to the walls |
Here's the combustion fan motor, working normally. Little bit to the left under the cap resides the flame sensor that is directed toward the combustion chamber. I managed not to take any pictures from right angle, but there was little bit of soot there as well, blocking the view of the flame and causing the main problem here. After some cleaning, the flame sensor reads ~8 Mohm when in dark and around 430 Kohm when teased with direct light from a flashlight. |

Quite a bit of soot also under (actually over, since the unit seen here is held upside-down normally) the cup and the turbulator. There's a shadow under it too, but most of it is soot actually. |
Here's the CPM. It's funny feeling seeing it now here, like meeting somebody in real life after you have spent weeks chatting online :) |
We know each other so well already, so there was no need to be embarrassed. Let's take the cover off and look if there are any unhappy burned parts. None found. |
Only after putting the whole thing together again and looking this image more carefully when uploading this picture, I noticed this burned looking solder joint little bit from the center to the direction of upper left corner. Weird, since the heater seems to be working now. Maybe it was just the angle, light doing its tricks. |
So, I cleaned the heater from all the soot and put the thing back together. Fingers crossed, I started the heater and behold, it works now! It seems that soot builds up as a result of imperfect combustion and eventually blocks the light/flame sensor. When this happens CPM thinks there's a problem with fuel delivery or some other functionality, and then stops the heater. Ardic does need service at least every two years, but some people service it annually, especially when there's a lot of short distance driving and the heater runs cold proportionally greater periods.
I didn't touch the water pump since it seems to be working and I don't have any spare rubber parts should the pump need any of them changed after opening the thing to prevent leaks. Anyways, I'm going to buy a new pump next summer when I'm servicing this thing again, just in case. It's interesting to see how much soot buildup will occur during the winter months with my personal driving style and preferences. From there it will be possible to estimate how long a relatively safe service period would be. It would be possible perhaps to estimate this based on the voltage reading of flame sensor! Of course, this would require reaching a steady state, maybe after running the heater for one hour until all the temperatures reach equilibrium and then check the sensor voltage. The nearer it is to the 2.5 volt threshold (explained in previous post) when the heater is on, the more the there could be soot covering the eye of the flame sensor. I will have to check the reading soon when it is still clean.
UPDATE: The flame sensor voltage will fluctuate between 0.6 and 1.0 volts when the furnace has been cleaned. Boys, when it starts to climb over 2.0 volts near the 2.5V threshold, it's time to grab your wrenches and mops and start cleaning!

A Wallas marine or RV heater will make your boat or vehicle a better investment, allowing you to use it more than twice as many days per year than you probably do today. Set up properly, a Wallas boat heater will help dry your vessel’s interior and increase interior oxygen levels.
A Wallas heater is quiet, efficient and ecologically friendly. A Wallas heater can be installed in a variety of locations in either new or retrofit applications. Available in either diesel or kerosene models, Wallas boat heaters are the final word in fuel and energy efficiency.
Ardic Diesel Heater Parts
Wallas marine heating systems are designed and intended for recreational use. Use in commercial, live-aboard or unattended use will result in excessive operating hours requiring maintenance and repair not covered by product warranty. Wallas offers a three year, 2,000 hour warranty, whichever comes first.

Dries your cabin, preventing moisture damage.
Variable power for maximum comfort and efficiency.
A Wallas diesel stove can be installed in less than one day, easily replacing alcohol or alcohol electric stoves and providing both improved cooking and cabin heating in a single installation. Wallas boat stove/heaters are the most efficient products in our lineup, providing more than 1,000 btu per ounce of fuel burned!
The Wallas Nordic Dt diesel stove/heater is the final word in diesel cooking and heating in your boat, camper, van or trailer. Quiet, efficient, altitude compensated and space saving, these systems provide dry, controllable heat with thermo control.
Safe, quiet and without any exposed flame, a Wallas heater or Wallas stove/heater will transform your small cabin cruiser into a multi season second home! Those cold, clear spring and autumn days will become your favorites for coastal cruising and entertaining.
By utilizing diesel or kerosene, a Wallas heater or Wallas stove eliminates the need for explosive gases for cooking and heating. The Wallas process is safe, silent, dry and free of combustion odor.
All Wallas diesel forced air stoves, diesel Wallas heater products, diesel boat heaters and diesel ovens are variable power. This means that unlike our competitors, a Wallas diesel forced air device does not have to be stopped and started in order to hold a desired temperature while cooking or heating the cabin.
All Wallas diesel products are designed specifically to burn diesel fuel. There is no need to burn lighter fuels of any kind in these devices, meaning diesel fuel from your local fuel station or dock is the preferred fuel to use. All Wallas diesel products can burn high quality kerosene products if you choose, but these fuels are less stable than diesel and require annual replacement of the fuel to remain usable.
Since diesel Wallas heater and Wallas stove products can run continuously at a broad range of power settings, they can be installed in a range of boat sizes and tuned to each type and size of vessel. Thermostatically controlled through the new P.I. controller, or optional rheostat control means on demand power output you can customize as conditions change.
Scan Marine is your source for Wallas cottage heaters, designed for simple, efficient heating of small cabins or remote locations off grid. Based on 12VDC, they can run for days on a small amount of fuel and 12V power, Wallas cabin heaters are quiet, safe and environmentally friendly.
Vessels, vehicles and cabins fitted with these or any petroleum fueled products should also be equipped with a working CO detector. These devices should be tested regularly.
