Vaillant EcoMax 824/2 E Leaking problems

Postby Lwestcott on Mon Dec 14, 2009 9:21 pm

Hello all,
On Saturday we returned home to find water pouring through our kitchen ceiling, it was coming from our boiler with is upstairs in the bathroom. Its not the first time we've had problems with it, we've had the pump and the heat exchange both replaced and its been fine for the last 3 months untill Saturday. When I took the cover off the boiler the water was spraying from the pipe closest to me entering the heat exchange. Has anybody heard or seen anything like this before? Luckily the plumber came out the same night and turned the water off to the boiler so it is no longer leaking but were unsure what to do as we've already replaced the heat exchanger including all the seals.
Any help is much appreciated as we've no idea what to do and we dont want to have to go out and buy a new boiler.

Thanks

Lee ;)

hi there, you have probably got fibre washer wear and tear damage. try replacing the fibre washers joined to the bottom of the heat exchanger where the water was spraying out. lot cheaper option to start with. good luck
