worcester diverter valve

[stopleak]

hi all new to this site .wonder if any of you experts can help me .got a worcester 28cdi boiler 18 months old and has developed a small drip from the operating rod on the diverter vavle .can you tell me can the diaphragm be changed without removing the whole unit.it looks a bit tight but may be possible what do you think

Nah.

Also

The o ring that it will be leaking from tends to be virtually impossible to get out.
I even have the correct tool to remove it but have only ever got one out.

New diverter is the only answer if you can't remove it.

i ordered a diverter valve once, it went to the house next door.

(sorry i couldn't resist it)

If this is the model I think it is then its a real pig even for a professional. With the diverter horizontal towards the back and a row of black plastic water bits along the front !

If its only the push rod gland at the microswitch then you should be able to repair just that in situ. Still not the easiest task but possible!

Universal diverter valve kit.

You will find the o ring you need in the kit but like i said you will be lucky to get it out.

In spite of what we have told him he still thinks he is going to replace the diaphragm to solve his leak!

I would allow 150 minures for that job!
