We wish we’d known about this earlier, we discovered the previous occupants had this but didn’t say so we didn’t exchange it into our name. I doubt they’d cover the boiler now.

Also just been and checked that the two pins on both the DHW pressure differential valve and the diverter manifold are working but I can’t help but think the diverter is clogged as it’s the last thing to operate before the PCB tells the fan and air pressure switch to activate.

perhaps a different engineer?

 

[Maligator2014]

Yes, might be worth a shot before I have the entire unit replaced.

Well if you bother to read my post you’ll see that my boiler isn’t igniting and I’ve described the sequence of it’s start up to the point it fails.

If you can’t be arsed to read it then why comment?

Yes it’s a long post but if I simply say ‘my boiler doesn’t ignite’ I’ll have suggestions like ‘have you turned on the power’?

yes I read all of your post but it makes no sense at all, it is just a load of crap to be honest

Well jog on then and fingers crossed someone who actually cares, isn’t bored and intent on being an idiot and knows what they’re on about replies. Thanks for your constructive input all the same.

Diverter valves exchanger.

It’s the term from the installation manual.

Funnily enough I’m here because I don’t know much about boilers and I’m asking for help, not someone to be a dick about things when they’re bored.

I can assure you that no installation manual says "Diverter valves exchanger."

I was referring to the Diverter Valve Assembly and in particular the Diverter Manifold as mine has corrosion present on the outside.

Now that we’ve cleared this up can you please be constructive or just say nothing at all.

I joined this forum as I was impressed by the knowledge of some which was passed on to others who are less knowledgeable but so far all I seem to have found is you and you’re clearly very bored.

I was merely pointing out , that if you want advice , get to the point, dont quote absolute rubbish, and someone might be able to help you, good luck I know your boiler inside out but will not get involved in any more communications

Yes you have a point but the last thing I want to do is write a half arsed post which doesn’t describe everything I have done or found to be working because it just wastes everyone’s time. I wanted to do my best in assisting anyone who knows these boilers give the write answer or cause if the problem.

Your initial posts were not what I expected at all and it’s a shame that you didn’t say you knew the boiler as it just seemed that you wanted to pick faults in what I’d written.

So, to anyone else that knows about this boiler, please reply with some places to start looking at.

TIA
