Hi all, i went to service one off these today but i had to abandon and say i'll be back in a couple of days. This has really throughn me badly and its the first time i've attempted to service one of these aswell so no prior knowledge.

A bit of background british gas have "serviced" it for the last 14years approx, i'm the first independent gsr the customer has had in since he cancelled the contract just under a year ago. I Checked the data sticker on the boiler and it said 12.1mb burner pressure, as i haven't done one of these i asked the customer if he had a manual to check minimum pressure. I was presented with this manual: Worcester 28 CDi RSF Installation and Servicing Instructions | Worcester, Bosch Group

I noticed the Gas valve looks nothing alike the one in the manual above but the 12.1mb correlated so i carried on.
When tested on DHW on minimum and i'm getting 4mb and maximum of 7.9mb which is miles off what the manual says.

So my first question is can it honestly fall out off range this quickly, as in a year since british gas was here. This has stopped me in my tracks as i've never seen something this old this far out.

Since ive got home ive found this manual for the boiler aswell, which the boiler in question has this gas valve:
https://www.freeboilermanuals.com/a...Installation-and-Servicing-Instructions-2.pdf

Which manual would you guys follow? The data sticker says 12.1mb but its a completely different gas valve.

Im stumped on this one.... im just to unsure to start adjusting when the minimum and max value is that far out. Is there a reason someone would adjust it that way?

Any help would be great on this one
Cheers

What were the figures eg co2 o2 ppm and gas rate ?
Couldn't take analyser readings this boiler is jammed up tight to a ceiling couldn't even see a flue gas port on it as its also in side a airing cupboard which i can barley fit in. Its a vertical flue through the roof so couldn't do it from outside with ease either.

Honestly didnt gas rate it as i would of imagined it'd be miles out so would do on my return, maybe wishing i did now as it'd at least show how many kw it was using on max....
 
op do 4 more non spamming posts and pm me your gas safe no

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
