Vaillant diverter valve Improved design?

[Steelmasons]

10 pages on a diverter valve that takes 30 minutes to fit.

It's all the black is white and white is black arguing that makes it go on and on. It's unbelievable!

I've been looking back through quite a few threads and people come on here to ask genuine questions, get a stupid cocky reply then don't reply or visit the forum ever again.

Also it's worth noting the original question wasn't actually answered until I compared the 2 valves when I changed them

The point you seem unwilling to see is that everyone who has replied ultimately has YOUR best interests at heart.

On the Homeserve cover; time how long the engineer is in your house for. 20mins tops I guarantee it. Do you really think they'll carry the gaskets with them? These guys are probably getting £10 a service so they're all about quantity not quality. I was offered some work for Corgi homeware (or whatever it's called). 2 things stuck out to me:
1. I was told that if any faults were found I was to discuss it wth them before notifying the customer.
2. The service was to be "minimal" whatever that means.

I told them to stick it.

Good luck but you'd be better off sticking the monthly payment in a biscuit tin and paying a reputable local firm to carry out the service.

I completely understand the safety aspect of it but you've got to admit certain members of this forum go completely over the top with their 'advice'

I might just hunt down a decent local guy then.

Yep. That's because it normally doesn't take more than a few pages for them to figure out that they are not going to get much useful advice on here once they have opened the sealed combustion chamber.

So far you are on page 11 and you seem to enjoy coming back for more on a daily basis.

What do you find so interesting in this thread that you feel the need to keep coming back for more?

Surely you must have something more important in your life to focus on than this?

Edit. Deleted double post

 

[jakeycrx85]

It's not even people asking about sealed appliances in the threads I've read though.

I'm just amazed at some people's attitude on here. Don't worry I'll just use Google in future.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Please do so.

 

[jakeycrx85]

You're probably one of the worst people for it Dan. If somebody disagrees with you you throw your toys out of the pram.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Oh there is very little toy chucking, trust me.
Much amusement though as it seems we are very lucky here that all of God's gifts to engineering come here for advice on their boilers.

 

[jakeycrx85]

I never proclaimed to be God's gift to engineering. I was pointing out I'm not an idiot like you automatically seem to assume everybody is with your condescending attitude.

The thing is I wasn't asking for basic help. I was asking technical questions which nobody actually managed to answer

You gave the only vague answer when I asked if the diverter valve has been improved by saying Vaillant have polished their turd a bit. No real usefull information there.

Nobody actually managed to answer why only the bath/shower was getting low DHW temp but the other taps were fine.

I wonder if his BMW is safer than his boiler ?
