Vaillant EcoTec Exclusive 832 water pump

[angel_fab]

Hi Guys,
I have a leaking water pump, not much, a few drops every now and then. The pump itself looks very different from all pumps I have managed to find online and they do not match the part number printed on the original one (0020016531). Could someone give me an idea of where to find it and the rough price of it...

How were you able to see the pump leaking?

Hi Toni,

My local plumber took the front cover off to see where the water was coming from. Took the picture and now trying to find the part to estimate the cost of repair.

832??..would have thought boiler still under warranty..

Hi Steelmasons,
It was, up to the end of October And by the look of it it was probably leaking for quite a few weeks (there is a build up of the limescale) but the water started dripping from the corner of the boiler only yesterday. Bad luck I guess

shouldn't be a problem for your plumber to find the cost / part number , he is doing the repair isn't he ?

Well, I wanted to see if I can get the part myself and pay for labour only. Or at least to get the idea of the price to be able to compare.

An update (for all of those who'll be searching for some information like I did and didn't get any helpful answers)

My leaking pump was replaced with a standard Grandfos water pump (part number 0020131637). This one can be easily found online, if needed.

You did not get as much info as you would have liked because we don't encourage DIY repairs where gas related aspects are involved!

A DIYer should not be opening the sealed front cover on your model.

Any boiler engineer will know how to identify and order the correct part.

Hi Tony,
With all due respect I was not trying to do any DIY, I was merely trying to find out the price of a spare part. When I have information I can make a decision whether to go for Vaillant repair or get the part and call out qualified engineer. I work hard and any saving makes huge difference for me.

GOOD LUCK

Most engineers will not encourage you to buy the part.

Why do you think you are likely to make a saving that way?

U have the wrong size pump in your boiler now, good luck !

Hey Bunny , Angel works hard for his money so don't upset him by explaining the pitfalls the boiler may suffer with regard to the pump that has been fitted..
