Another great video CP. Always good to see real life scenarios where it doesn't always go to plan.

Great vid been changing these occasionally for years never new about diverter mid position or purge mode ive made a note for next time, and keeping it real with the struggle you had 💪keep them coming✌

for reference take copper pipe off first before removing screws also push turbine clip down its easier

Came across your channel, very helpful, for new guy like me.

Really helpful process tutorial. Best one i have found. Thank you CP Utility.

@@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!!

Nice work, I had to do one a few months back, the condense had leaked previously an rotted the bottom screw, made it a right treat 😡

Cheers mate for another great video.

Great job , I notice the insulation foam was shot. Normally on these the door foam goes brittle requiring a new door at £200+ due to seal failure so worth checking the burner seal with your analyser if you ever come across this condition of the foam insulation.

Thanks again Chirag.❤ that was another excellent accurate video

Greetings! The display from 242/3-5 can be put on Vaillant 242/3-3??

Good on ya 👌🏻

Excellent

Молодец 👍

if you turn boiler power off after draining it will tell you if the water pressure sensor is block, if blocked it will still show pressure ie 0.5 or 0.3

Hi, I’ve changed the diverter valve. But ch-flow pipe getting hot when hot water is on. Another problem after Changing divertor - the hot water working fine - but heating goes one and rapidly heats up and cuts out - radiator symbol flashes. I did do P0 purging. Still no luck. Any help Would be really good.

hello, I have a vaillant ecotec plus vcw 346 3-5 boiler that works with natural gas and I would like to run it with propane gas. Thanks a lot

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

whats the part number mine has the black top and I want to replace it with the new one. My existing part is DIVERTER VALVE 252457

Hi, once this is done do you re test the gas and do flue readings or as it’s only on the wet side you just do Visual checks for leaks

What long length screwdriver set do you have for these. I have one where the screws are shot so i need to drill them out. Anyone any advise on which size drill bit i need to drill out the screws. Thanks. Enjoyed the video

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

Hi. Managed to follow your instructions. Thank you. I ended up draining the pump relief valve and now it's dripping outside on the copper pipe, what should I do, any tips what to do please? Thanks in advance

@cputilitysolutions

2 жыл бұрын

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, my boiler is vaillant vuw 260 . The problem is that if the chimney led flashing more than 90 seconds after it doesn't start, just running the pump forever. Any idea why? Thank you!

Done the exact same job on the same boiler the other day and when I ran the hot tap nothing happened... No tap symbol on the display nothing! Had to put the old motor back in the new diverter then it worked. Have you ever come across this before?

@cputilitysolutions

2 жыл бұрын

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!

Bro didn't you forgot to take the diverter valve bracket mount screw when you started wiggling it and then said sh$t should come out lol nice video though

Clearly a very bad design of this 3 port valve. I guess the parts and labor cost exceeded £200. Almost criminal for a inherent bad design.
