Got called out to the above today. Making a strange noise when switching back to heating after hot water. Sounds like a Knock coming from around the hydraulic section. Any ideas?

Im not sure on the age. Customers no paperwork. When you say diverter are we talking about the internals or actuator or both. Are these boilers the worst thing ever? The amount of alli in the bottom of the boiler and condense trap was huge! Is this also common?

I have been waiting for a diverter for one of these for a week, first Ideal said they used 3 different types so could i supply serial number, when i did this they then contacted me asking if it had a red or grey actuator, told them red, then they said that serial number didnt have red actuators, well i said this one does, so they have now said they will contact me tomorrow, bloody Ideal they are from from it.
Just been looking on ebay. Found someone who lives locally selling heating spares. £30 quid for the diverter cartridge. Not bad if its the right one.
Why are Warm front installing these garbage? Is it a plan for the future to have an ongoing boiler replacement and repair scheme. From the amount of metal in the trap and under the exchanger i would be surprised if these things last 8 years.
The CP diverter (red with grey valve head) is the noisy one, will just occur again.
Ultimate fix is to get the whole left hand hydraulic block and complete diverter valve with head for the wilo which has the rectangular honeywell motorised head.
That lot will cost money.
Took me 1 3/4 hrs to do the conversion but Ideal boys do it in 3/4 hr I think.
not what I would class as a very hard job, just slightly difficult. It does solve the problem once and for all.
i did it for Bg and I think they get the parts from Ideal under warrantie.
You will either\have to write a stinking letter to them for designing such rubbish and threaten them with consumer programs or pay the money.
