    Before you screw in the new flow turbine get a scotch pad and thoroughly clean out the turbine housing Also smear some silicon grease around the O ring before you screw in

    Hi Dan Great video very clearly explained. I’ve got a Main eco 30 and have been suffering only warm water through the hot tap for a couple of months, I’ve changed the diverter valve and the heat exchanger but they didn’t help and was thinking of getting in a gas engineer when I saw this video and thought it was worth a try replacing flow sensor/restrictor £12.40. Now I’ve got piping hot water. Thanks .

    Hi Dan, very good video. Just one question. My Ideal Logic 30 is about 6 or 7 years old. It had a new primary heat exchanger a couple of months ago and since then the hot water temperature has been low at the taps, 40 DegC. You can bring it up by shutting in the tap, but it gives a really slow flow rate. I assume this boiler modulates on the flow turbine hall effect switch outputs? Since the temperature of the hot water remains steady, do you think it's most likely to be the flow turbine or fouled plate heat exchanger?

    Hi Dan, I have an Ideal Logic Combi 24 and the heating is fine but the water is only luke warm from the hot taps. It doesn't fluctuate but just stays luke warm (slightly warmer in the kitchen where the boiler is situated but colder in the bathroom which is further away). I've tried with the heating on and off but no change. I had a plumber take a look and said it would need a new heat exchanger or diverter valve and recommended changing both at the same time so would be about £400 as said it could be either and would be false economy to change just one at a time! I've read elsewhere it could be a thermistor sensor which is a lot cheaper and would prefer them to try that first. Any ideas please?

  • @DoItAllDan

    Hi mark, always a difficult one as I haven't seen it myself. With what your saying it definitely could be one of the three ( thermostat, heat exchanger, the diaphragm in the diverter ) in all fairness the plumber should have been able to diagnose whilst there of course this depends on the condition of the parts. I would have recommended taking out the plate heat exchanger and doing a manual flush on visit that would have helped eliminate that and what I would have done, also tested the functionality of the diverter and clean the cartridge whilst there again would have helped with indication to which it may be. I would swing more to thermostat being faulty if there is no fluctuation in water temperature or pressure but this is only an educated guess as I haven't seen. Many thank hope this helps.

    Hi there Dan, I have a weird issue on my ideal logic. When I use hot water in the bathroom the boiler makes a tapping sound, when I took the boiler cover off I could see the flow sensor light was flashing and the noise seemed to be coming from this part or the turbine. But when I use hot water in the kitchen this noise never happens, what do you think the issue might actually be? Pressure seems ok up and downstairs and water get hot too.

    Hi Geoff little confused, the silver plate at the back is the plate heat exchanger on a combi. Does it have a hot water tank in the property at all, it shouldn't if it's a combi boiler it's hot water on demand. If you have isolated the boiler and drained off the Nipple then the only water will be in boiler so get a bucket and towel and let it drain down then remove the exchanger to flush out. 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Run a test on the boiler after you have ran the hot water and vented all taps then run the central heating to make sure the pressure doesn't rise above 3bar and everywhere gets hot 👍🏻

If the Tao works fine but not getting hot when at full bore it could be a factor another could be the plate heat exchanger could be shaled up and need cleaning, maybe replacing Hope this helps

    john kendall Hi john, thanks for your comment. What I meant when I referred to intermittent hot water is when the hot tap is running and the water is getting warm then all of a sudden goes cold and this keeps happening intermittently (warm, cold, warm, cold and so on). With your boiler it's very hard for me to diagnose when I can't take a look but it could be a few things, It sounds like the boiler is calling for heat or water so I would make sure your stats are down (possible faulty) make sure you have pressure in your boiler via the gauge, if it's happening quite regular possible diverter valve fault or if there's a motorized valve on the system is check that also. As you can see it's very hard to say if I can't take a look but I hope this helps in any way. Thanks again John

    Hi Bob is all the other taps running absolutely fine no problems? And it's only the bath hot tap? Of so I would consider looking for another solution, is the bath hot tap on a mixer unit? Maybe that is at fault. If the problem is only with the bath tap I wouldn't say it was anything to do with the turbine or heat exchanger. What is the bath tap pressure like? Running normally just cold? Thanks

All the other taps in the house are fine, I asked my daughter to run the basin unit till it was hot, then turn off and when she tried hot tap on bath again, it started to run luke warm, but went cold again. And yes she just said its on a mixer unit. Appreciate your time...Bob

    abdul hafiz no problem, just be cautious before you order a flow turbine make sure there is no debris in the plate heat exchanger at the back as it give similar effects but not the same if it's a grey area for you it can be difficult to diagnose. What I will say is remove the plate heat exchanger after you have isolated and drained the boiler by un screwing the Allen bolts and give it a rinse out and a few shakes to remove any shale then re install and test 👌🏻🤞🏻

    Thanks for the vid. I can’t unscrew mine. Tried a wrench but can’t get a tight enough grip. Will have to buy a pair of grips. I just hope this is the problem after trying this. When I turn the boiler back on, I do get hot water for a few mins. The display shows P. But then goes back to 0 and it goes cold. Sound like the turbine? Thanks again bud :-)

    mrjaffa1013 mrjaffa1013 hi, I would more than likely say it was the turbine. If in the meantime you can remove the plate heat exchanger and wash it out that may help. Inside the plate heat exchanger there are very thin fins that can collect bits that restrict the flow. If you decide to do this just run water through it and put your thumbs over the holes and shake for a few seconds do this a few times 😁hope this helps thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply! I may give that a go too, was just a bit concerned going that far as my only knowledge on all this is from a few KZread videos, so I probably should be paying for someone to come out. But, I’ve turned all the electrics off, turned the gas tap (yellow) off just not sure if I’m suppose to drain the boiler or turn one of the other taps off. If you were in my area I’d give you the business 👍😜

    mrjaffa1013 haha I appreciate that, just make sure you isolate all the taps below including the flow and return for heating then you definitely know there's no water coming back into the boiler (as I'm not there I can only give advice haha). Then drain the boiler out of the boiler drain nipple on the bottom of boiler it may be near the return valve. If your unsure check specs online for your boiler, once drained disconnect the plate heat exchanger by two Alan key screws holding it in place. You may need a small towel to mop up any small amounts of water. Then just wash it out and re connect 😁 hope that helps

Is your boiler changing to mode D when you run the hot water? If it is changing to mode D and your heating still works my guess would be the diverter valve.
