Vaillant 824 leaking diverter question

[ShaunCorbs]

Well I swapped the complete diverter today. Looked at trying to change the inners but I didn't try too hard as I didn't want to risk breaking the new valve. However logically the internals get put in there so you must be able to change them somehow. I have kept the old one to have a go at bastardising it see what I can figure out. The complete change was straight forward enough but swapping the inners would be much easier.

big hammer normally works

This is what you're looking for I think.

Never used this so I can't say how good it is, probably wouldn't bother either.

Absolutely marvellous!

God knows why Vaillant didn't do something like this. Their boilers over priced pieces of tat...... with a poor main heat exchanger...

I like vaillant and with the long warranty that I give. If there is every an issue they come and fix it for nothing anyway.

I have fitted maybe 100+ Vaillants never had an issue with any of them and the issues they do have are easily diagnosed and fixed, no messing around with any parts, lots of space, easy to service, really nothing to complain about other than those silly rubber hoses which they replaced with the most expensive copper in the world.

This old diverter has now been superseded. you can no longer replace the motor when required. Your problem however is the valve itself. You have to buy the whole unit at a very high cost. I recognise vaillant as penny pinching rip offs for their parts and will never recommend them for cystomers who put their trust in me.
