One for the vaillant peeps , this part here has a hole ontop that you can see inside and its full of water leaking , is there a service kit available for it am guessing ?

 

[villa_tom]

I know you can just unplug the electrics and unscrew the top bit and change that, if that's what you mean lee

 

[Barry98]

Is there a seal though behind that screw bit ? Cant see how waters getting in . Am off round tommorow / Friday and want to take kit with me if there is one

Nope you gotta replace the whole thing, its been updated.

Pull off the plug and the brass nut holding the motor in can be removed.

Top tip, stick the new o rings to the boiler not the valve with silicone grease, you'll see what i mean when you do it.

Think the glowworm one is the same and cheaper. It's exactly same part. (Diverter)

It is the same. The motor was changed and had a update on the harness so you need to check the cable comes with the new one to adapt.

 

[Ollieg]

It will with a vaillant part. Also on a pro the new one will be plastic even if the old was brass.
Your not being hard done by.

Yep, it comes with an adaptor kit...another Vaillant rip off. I used to love these boilers but now I see them for what they are. What with this, the combustion chamber seals and the thermal fuse con, this boiler will eventually empty your wallet.

I changed a diverter last week, can they be done without removing the pump?

 

[Ermintrude]

Yes. Easily

 

[Leo21]

Yes. Easily

Do you move the pump at all?
