I have a Vaillant Turbomax 242E which has had problems in the past-last time i had no hot water i removed the bottom of the diverter valve and found some grit like substance blocking the venturi-removed & all was fine. However the same thing happened this morning-i removed the diverter valve bottom section expecting to see some debris again but nothing. I have a repair kit which has a diaphram but this has made no differcne. I can see the white lever that is supposed to move when a hot tap is opened but nothing happens. Am i looking at a new diverter valve or anyhthing else to look at? Thanks for any help.

The white arm can snap on those diverter valves.
If you have the diverter service kit then that should be in kit.

yep-the arm had snapped! No arm in the kit i had and then the pipe to the pressure valve broke off-arrrhgghh. Called British Gas(mistake??!) and for £156 they will fit a new diverter valve & pressure valve, seems fine to me as parts were that much alone when i checked. Why do i have a nastly feeling it will be more than £156!!..........
