Hi All,

Just about to replace the heat exchanger on my Potterton Promax Combi 28 HE plus.

The part number is 5122147.

There is a rear plate of insulation in the back of the heat exchanger which has a thin plastic protective film over it, which I presume needs removing before fitting but there does not seem to be any way to take the insulation out. The boiler installation and Service Manual shows a small screw in the centre but my replacement (and the original, leaking/rusty one do not have this screw).

Does anyone know how to remove this rear insulation?

Worst case is I can take the original to bits as it is useless but I would prefer to know before I start the job.

Thanks

This is not a DIY job.
This plumbing forum will not provide advice to anybody with regards to boiler repairs or any other form of gas plumbing without you first providing us with your Gas Safe Registration number in a thread - for very obvious reasons. If you're not qualified to touch gas, you should stay well clear of trying to!
