boulter buderus 28c

[terry12]

called out to a 500 28c buderus 2day (god help me) and there is no hot water boulter dont call a diverter valve the same as all other manufactures any ideas and am i right in thinking that there is a safety alert with these boilers on gas safe website

I dont know any of the answers but I think these questions are better asked in the CC trade area of the site.

I confused about the actula quesion / problem?

Buderus' are easy to work on

divertor is bottom right,standard head nothing special.

Gas seals were the recall,hydrobloc splitting is the most common fault due to the preheat function.

B6 condensate trap failure is common lock out.

Neoprene flap in the flue sometimes sticks as well causing burner issues.

Had to replace every bloc so far on every 500 we've fitted.

You must have been busy replacing 500 blocks then!

I did my first block on one these a couple weeks ago, nightmare job, i spent 4 hours trying to get it out, eventually gave up and said it's upto the manufacturer, any tips getting one out?

 

[Agile]

Why are these failures not covered by the manufacturer's warrantee?

Are these the same part as fails on the G-W and S-Ds ?

I thought these were meant to be a good boiler at a reasonable price.

Is the advice to NOT install them and to fit a Vaillant instead for example?

It always worries me fitting a boiler where the spares are not stocked by a normal spares merchant.

Tips on hydrobloc

buy the bottom tray complete with bloc not bloc alone as you can't seperate it easily £95 quid next day through parts from bbt.

Hardest part is the pipe connection into the back of the pump housing it's either first time or all day.

Can do in just over an hour if all goes well,Worcester book it as 4 hours to their engineers under fixed price repair £250ish.

As for numbers done,personally must have done 50,site we were on has been fitting 20 a week for the last 2 years.

just like all of the viessmann, buderus, atag, and all of the other obscure sheeite that a lot of folks, including you, recommend on here?

 

[Agile]

I dont recommend boilers, only suggest them.

I do suggest Viessmann because they are becoming reliable boilers and their five year warrantee is a big advantage although they do have the non availability of spares as a downside but that is not very serious on a reliable boiler.

I have fitted several Viessmann but none of the other models you listed and I would not even suggest any of those because I dont see any particular advantage of them.
