Vaillant Ecotec Diverter valve change 

Nice one 👍🏾

Nice one 👍🏾

Nice one glad it helped!

Are you a new engineer then? How you finding it? Currently doing portfolio, really interesting work.

@@GasTraining I am bro yeah, I qualified around 9 months ago in gas . Really enjoying it. Been doing the plumbing for a few years and it all ties in perfectly. I've watched my boss do a few but never actually done much repair work myself but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Hope your portfolio and exams go well!!

👍🏾

Thank you 👍🏽

Glad to hear it!

Whenever you've removed a case off a boiler you should do your 26.9 checks 👍🏽

Large flathead, tap it fairly hard (within reason) from an angle with a hammer to loosen it off anticlockwise

I've got a 300mm bit holder that I use for these screws. I've had them chewed up before too but I've managed to free it by hammering a flat head onto the screw head and then able to tap it anti-clockwise to free it up

@@cputilitysolutions thanks for the reply. Will have a go at tapping a flat head

Yes - never drain from the PRV! Unless you're planning to change it! There's boilers have 2 drain off points, one on the flow and one on the return. You'll need to either clean and re-seat the PRV or replace it.

@@cputilitysolutions thank you so much for your guidance. I have taken it apart/cleaned the PRV sadly it still drips. I guess the only option is now to replace new one, hope that stops it. Thank you again! Any other tips would be much appreciated.

Hi, this would require a diagnosis whilst in front of the boiler

@@cputilitysolutions Thanks :(

Not come across that before mate, but I've come across a job where I thought it was the diverter as it was passing down heating, changed it and still doing same thing. Ended up being PCB not sending correct voltage to the motor to move it fully back and forth!

if you have right filling tap open no water comes out of hot tap

@@stevenjohnson6082 Water was coming out of the tap but the boiler was doing nothing.

I've heard of it but I've never used it myself yet. May give it a try but I've heard mixed reviews about it. Works for some people, but others have said they've been recalled a short while later because it leaks

@@cputilitysolutions we use them all the time, as long as its installed correctly they are a dream

Interesting. What's the cartridge removal tool.

Labour I charge 150+vat mate 👍🏾

Thanks 👍🏾

Funnily enough this is what I do when I change the complete pump! It's in my other video 👍🏽

Yeah around £300 total

🤣
