Baxi 105 HE leaking

[nezvos]

Hi all.

A few posts have suggested to replace the gland in the diverter valve, however mine is leaking from the hole in the manifold behind the diverter, that actually connects to the diverter valve.

Is this again just a gland or washer?

Help

Thanks for reading

not really sure what you mean about where your diverter valve is leaking but just buy and fit the diverter valve service kit it comes with all the gland seals washers and diaphraghms that you need and isnt too hard a job for a competent diyr and not expensive from ebay

Thanks for the reply Ian.

The leak is basically the opposite side from the micro switch on the front of the diaphram housing (see photo's).

the first is the view from the front and the second is the view from underneath.

The leak can be seen in the second pic, as the water is dripping out of the hole at the bottom, that looks like a blob of gold.

This is what you need, not a huge job to replace yourself but you will need to drain the boiler

Cheers Ian

I will order one today.

It is only dripping at present and HW & CH working ok.

Is it safe to continue to use until part arrives?

Thanks again
