hi, the tube has been replaced, the microswitch and valve are new the diverter valve is new, the heat exchanger is new(dhw) the pump seems to be working fine about the only thing i haven't changed are the sensors. haven't change the aps is it the circular item at the rear top of the boiler...

hi guys thanks for your help, i am no plumberbut have had a good ole bash at this thing and have had more luck than the local so called specialists who give me a blank look when i mention things? i will try the aps is this the round unit at the top of the boiler? cheers Andy

Hi Kev, i have the turbomax 242/282. It suffers from the red ignition light persistantly showing. when it does this there is no hot water. when it is reset it fires up and for a while all works ok. then it shuts down & the red light shows but there is an orange light on the heating. i have...

Anyone ? can someone tell me the part number of the correct pcb for the 242/282? also if i was to change the sensors would it be wise to change them all? cheers Andy

here's one for those in the know, the original part number for the pcb is 13-0438, but has it been superceded by 13-0448, i ask as i know the original diverter valve was superceded? can anyone help cheers Andy

Hiya, thanks for the reply, how many sensors are there and would it be worth changing them? do they often fail? cheers ps is there only 1 pcb ? Andy

ok i replaced the flow switch/unit and the bloody thing still shuts down after a while. just a point, if the temp gauge is low it fires and continues to work until the temp gauge is 2/3 of the way up, when it cuts out the red light comes on on the ignition but does not flash. There is still an...

hi, i was hoping for the final solution. lol but i think a call will have to be made anyone else? cheers Andy

Ok i have changed the diverter valve, the auto air valve, the secondary heat exchanger, the small pipe between the d/v & the flow switch and still the blooming boiler cuts out after a short time leaving me without any hot water. Could it be a temp sensor cutting it out? i'm getting desperate now...

ok thanks for that, its, just the copper tube that runs to the diverter valve i assume? Andy

thank you for that i will replace both items as i believe they are not too expensive. is there anything else that could give the same symptoms? regards Andy

im no technician so can you tell me what the aav is? anything else i could change whilst stripping the old girl down? as i say i've changed the diverter valve and the smaller heat exchanger. when switched on the hot water is fantastic, but the boiler keeps cutting out! cheers Andy

thanks, i think i will have to. but they may blind me with science. lol. anyone else with some idea's? andy

Hi We have as above, the hot water did not work as it should. the boiler flame out light kept coming on. The water worked for a short time once the reset had been done but then the red light came back on. i have changed the diverter valve for a new complete 1 and also replaced the secondary heat...
