Vaillant g10 seals and servicing

[Scott_D]

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