Get video. I've done it the other way with fuel pump pliers. I didn't take the div valve out, the pliers brake the tabs then i used a pair of needle nose to take out the cartridge. The tabs can be a bit hard to brake but it works just fine .

@paulkelly3254 5 лет назад
I worked on this kit at British Gas Xsol, it’s not a bad kit to be fair, I found that the blue clips tended to wear after about 3 or 4 swaps, an alternative I used was a pair of fuel line pliers to snap the cartridge lugs and then needle nose pliers to remove the cartridge, then you can use whoever sells the cheaper cartridge. Cheaper repair and unfortunate the recall happened, great tip on the slot as well😉

Don’t think Vaillant are too happy about it😆 it saved BG about £75 per repair, and they swapped over 5000 diverters in 2016. Not sure where you would stand on warranties, but it’s a great fix👍🏻

I think everyone is different we all have to make choices based on what we see on site. Personally I'd change the whole DV assembly. Had enough call backs through trying to repair so thats what i always do now. But as i say we're all different and have to make our own choices, as there are so many factors at play. Also from a customer relations point of view and with experience I always get the customer to look at the state of the boiler, always make them aware that once one thing goes its possible others will follow.

That boiler has been fine with the second cartridge in it. I have just fitted one of these in my mum boiler. Full, in the family test. :-). I work on a lot of contracts and how I fix boilers varies depending on how the pay works. Unfortunately, I cant always replace the whole part. :-)

Just did this, couldn’t get the cable tie to work on brass valve so just broke the tabs from inside with a screwdriver. Easy steps after that. Pin was corroded on previous one. £30 job, was quote £400 for a new brass valve. Time will tell if it was a success but all looks ok after 2 days.

Salman .....I always give the customer the choice of doing this repair or replacing the whole valve with a recon unit , and I do tell them that it may leak again in the future so that way I cover myself if it leaks , it's all down to the cost of the repair and a lot go for the cheaper option of just replacing the cartridge....👍

Better of just changing the cartridge rather than the whole valve if the system isn't going to be flushed because the same will happen to both but the cartridge is cheaper.

As other people have said - the first clampy thing is a bit useless - small flat bladed screwdriver in from the front under the tip of the lugs and twist to snap the old lug off (quite brittle plastic) - then long nose pliers to spin it a bit to break it loose - then long nose pliers again pull on the spindle with a good tug.

I generally drill a small hole in the plate where water collects in these Vaillants. Then the owner notices the leak as soon as it starts rather than when there's 8mm of water swimming around and everything goes rusty! And before someone says it stops it being airtight: it isn't airtight anyway, which is why the water finally drips out!

You can now buy a brass version of this cartridge which looks a lot more robust and it has the added benefit of a replaceable double o ring piston gland so if ever it leaks you can just replace the gland , a great idea I think , valve is £ 22 and replaceable gland £ 8 from eBay.....👍

Excellent explanation. Did you know you can just replace the tiny O ring that is the seal to the spindle. It's a bit fiddly to get the metal washer to slide out sideways but then straightforward. It appears to be an R-01 O-ring: 3.15mm internal diameter x 1.8mm cross section. I'll let you know if it leaks.

I fitted the repaired diverter yesterday in which I changed the "O" ring. The tabs were broken off and I refitted using large cable clips wedged in the two holes where the tabs were. All working fine and no leak from the spindle. Even cheaper than putting in the new valve assembly in!
