    Greenstar 30cdi system leaking under heat exchanger

    I think the HE was covered under warranty but the labour wasn't? Also the extra was for replacement of vessel. All in I don't think the customer was going to get a better deal than £315 for a new HE, vessel and labour. Also looking at it the HE hadn't been cleaned in a good while and possibly...

    No signs other than puddle and some drips coming down from top shelf where pipes go through and where HE is secured from below. These drips only occur when puddle formed.

    Screeching Grundfos ERP 2015 pump in Vaillant Ecotec Pro 24

    Hi KOP, I am GS - so before I order a new pump it is worth taking out the existing pump and stripping down to see if there is any debris? Relatively new to this trade so still coming across lots of situations for the first time. Your advice is much appreciated.
