Leaky Glow Worm 30CXi Combi Boiler

[mightymousetoon]

I have a Glow Worm 30CXI Combi Boiler and noticed its leaking over the last 4-5 months. Its a drip every 10 minutes or so but leaves quite a puddle after its left for a while.


Im sure the place where its leaking from used to have a cap on it but i am not sure, If it can be confirmed that its a small part i need then it would save paying £100 for someone to come out.


I have enclosed a photo with an arrow showing where its leaking from (Its the left side when looking at it - not the pressue valve)


If it is just a cap is there a specific type i need?

Many thanks.... eventually getting round to it.

I take it a glowworm disconnector 801673 would also do:

What would I need to do to fit it?

You would be well advised to replace the complete filling loop kit, the cost is not much different and unless you've had a new one at some point you will probably have a plastic shaft in the filling valve which has now been upgraded to a brass shaft. Price is hardly any different
