@Riley, where did I mentioned that the engineers on here don’t service properly? I said in general not particular the engineers on here did I?That is the damn reason why the boilers don’t last long. When I service a boiler I strip it down, clean burner, flush main heat exchanger, siphon, ****, replacing seals, electrodes . that’s what the customer is paying for. There is no other service than that. Majority of engineers don’t service boilers properly and that’s so wrong.
But that’s the way to do it
It’s time to stripe thenIs it a pig to swap? Never done one
Had the same problem a month ago. On a Saturday had to drive 11 miles one way
I realise English is not your first language Ron but you have to be mindful of people reading your messages. Text speak which is what this essentially is, can be construed in many ways depending on who reads it. And you can see from the reaction how many people got upset by it.@Riley, where did I mentioned that the engineers on here don’t service properly? I said in general not particular the engineers on here did I?
However, if you say I’m wrong that’s fine with me don’t bother me at all, I will keep it going the way it should be.

When I went in the Ecotec training day a few years ago I was told to open the heat exchanger up every 5 years unless FGA reading say otherwise
Every time you open the heat exchanger you should replace the seal
Am I wrong? Or has it changed?
Just been on a Vaillant course. They say that the seal only needs changing if you inspect inside the burner chamber which should be done every 5 years as a minimum. He said that you can change annually if you wish, but there is no need.

But why would you not clean the chamber annually? It definitely would extend the lifespan of the boiler. Hard to believe but if you say so then it must be true. It must be down to money making scheme as I can’t get my head around to not service a boiler for 5 years. I will stick to cleaning the chamber annually as I’m fairly confident on extending the lifespan of the boiler as well as making sure the boiler runs perfectly fine.Just been on a Vaillant course.
