Vaillant ecoMax 828/2E (VUW GB 286/2-C)

Hi

I wonder if can someone offer any solution... I have a Vaillant ecoMax 828/ 2E boiler which is leaking. To start the repair do I need to adjust the diverter valve to the middle position to purge the boiler? If so what function on the program do I need to go to adjust the diverter valve to the middle position?

If you’re not gas safe registered or competent to test afterwards then we can’t give that advice out on an open forum. Do you know if the leak is on the diverter valve?

The leak is not coming from the diverter valve, but from the end side of the pipe that is connecting the aqua valve to the secondary heat exchanger, (12 plates).

Yeah, quite a common place for it to fail. Unfortunately as the case forms part of the combustion circuit and you’re not in the gas engineers section, forums rules forbid us to give out gas related advice (I know it’s water but as I said, part of the combustion circuit).

No worries, I will figure it out myself.
