Vaillant g10 seals and servicing

[Riley]

Can’t be any worse than the pathetic eu beaurocracy we find ourselves in now

 

[Old Account]

how do we know if we dont try

It’s obvious

 

[Old Account]

And I’ll do you a favour and close it because I’m not being insulted by petty small minded idiots like you

Who is braking forum rules the mod or me? Being rude and offensive well done mate

 

[Old Account]

You’ll see how good you had it once you are gone

 

[Riley]

So far until that comment before being provoked by someone I wasn’t rude. The only person that’s provoked anyone was you

Once you start paying more but earning the same you will be beggin to come back

Yawn it’s boring now. It’s a plumbing site

Where was I offensive to you you stated I gave a bold statement and I just used the same word so what are you on abot

Ron, we are going in circles with this. Your comment, YOUR comment!!! ruffled a lot of people. You are not the god of boiler services, you don’t get to dictate to people on here who is doing it right and wrong. You have to be man enough to stand by the following fallout because of what you said. You cannot toss around the racism card because people criticise a boiler which lets be fair originated in Germany. We’d have the same digs at Italy for ferolli and Biasi. What you fail to see or don’t want to see is that you are wrong with that very early sweeping statement saying most of us don’t service properly

 

[Sharp Point]

And...... you also made a discreet violent comment towards myself ! Which I’m sure I interpreted correctly.

Just remember, you don’t know what’s on the tuther end of the touchpad, when making threats.

Oil in the manufacturering normally go back in a week to do the readings / paperwork

 

[Harvest Fields]

That’s what I figured in the end. I Left 20 minutes ago. Said would be back the end of the week.

That is the damn reason why the boilers don’t last long. When I service a boiler I strip it down, clean burner, flush main heat exchanger, siphon, ****, replacing seals, electrodes . that’s what the customer is paying for. There is no other service than that. Majority of engineers don’t service boilers properly and that’s so wrong.

@Riley, where did I mentioned that the engineers on here don’t service properly? I said in general not particular the engineers on here did I?
However, if you say I’m wrong that’s fine with me don’t bother me at all, I will keep it going the way it should be.

 

[king of pipes]

Strip down and change the G10 seal every service . Kop

I realise English is not your first language Ron but you have to be mindful of people reading your messages. Text speak which is what this essentially is, can be construed in many ways depending on who reads it. And you can see from the reaction how many people got upset by it.

View attachment 37958 thought I would continue this here instead of the other thread

When I went in the Ecotec training day a few years ago I was told to open the heat exchanger up every 5 years unless FGA reading say otherwise

Every time you open the heat exchanger you should replace the seal

Am I wrong? Or has it changed?

Just been on a Vaillant course. They say that the seal only needs changing if you inspect inside the burner chamber which should be done every 5 years as a minimum. He said that you can change annually if you wish, but there is no need.

[Harvest Fields]

Just thought as I was on site I would ask the question and get some feedback mate.
