vokera mynute 28e boiler leak

[duxster]

Hi

Our boiler, which is a Vokera Mynute 28e and is about 4 years old, has started to leak slightly. I have had the cover off and traced it back to a small valve on top of the pump assembly. It looks like the type of valve on a car tyre and is next to the automatic air vent if that helps, not sure of the technical name!

The valve only leaks when the boiler has cooled down, whilst on it is dry.

I have tried removing the dust cap and pressing the valve centre to flush it out but it still leaks slightly.

Any ideas? Can this valve be replaced and if so what is the part called to I can ring around.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Robert

easily diyable and readily available from all good stockists
