Changing ideal logic sump without drain down.

For engineers use not diy. For information how an ideal logic is assembled. Anyone working on boilers should be competent in working on them.

Great video, clear method & easy to follow, got one to change tomorrow👍🏻👍🏻
Hi
Hi
So if it drips in the inspection cover, is that a faulty heat exchanger or sump?
If it can be seen dripping without removing inspection cover it's likely the sump.
@@stevenroberts8671 I got a really strange issue. I remove the cover and it was dry, waited a few minutes and not a single drop fell. After heating is on, the condensate pipe drips but only for a little and then stops but the pressure in boiler drops ever so slightly. I'm confused as to what it could be. The prv is dry but the expansion vessel was charged 4 times higher than required. At almost 4 bars instead of the recommended 1. I have released some air and so far it's got better but still pressure drops a little. But again sump is dry and no drips from behind cover. It's definitely not the radiators or pipes either.
I got Bod. And I was only about 3. I liked Alberto Frog and hus orchestra and they always had a milkshake. Bizarrely, although I've never seen it apart from the terrible film, I also got On the Buses! (A more depressing film I have never seen).
I had a new install a month ago. Leaked due to gasket being incorrect composition, it was flat with no give. A bit of pvc tape across the gasket as a shim, sorted it. No cracks.
Really good content, more like this would be great.
In case anyone doesn't realise, this is a snippet for interest only. Gas work should only be done by competent engineers who know how to isolate, test etc. Apparently some people need this spelling out
Don't want to sound negative but i didn't see safe isolation, isolating gas but yh i seen you open the gas valve in the end, no FGA, no draining boiler and recharging vessel, no clear guidance that this video is purpose to gas safe engineer only not DIY. I've replaced loads off top brand heat exchanger, yes these are quick to do but if everything straight forward, what i would off done as you had the gas valve out clean the injectors, check burner not damaged, cleaned trap etc...just snippet off changing components is dangerous to someone who's not confident.
Mate the sump needs replacing, dont do cowboy jobs..there not too hard to replace, are you gas safe registered!.that crack is a cummon fault not a quick fix with LSX
Correct. Temporary repair, see my other video on changing sump 👍🏻
The Best check
I got 23 brought back some good memories
Good video guide here. After 8 years my heat exchanger has just started leaking. I found the leak by putting a bottle of blue food dye into the TF1 vessel. The next day the condensate trap went blue 🙂. Got a decent replacement one arriving in the next few days. At least this boiler isn't too tricky to work on.
Exactly what am looking for whats the name of that temp sealer
Lsx
Mines just cracked, could I get that done to mine
Probably
Thanks for the video We have one to do.
what is the name of first one been searching ages
Fawlty towers, the answers are on screen. The tune at the start is please sir
@@stevenroberts8671 Please Sir was the tune I was looking for, cheers
Very good you made it look straightforward great thanks 😊 👍 Andrew
What is the epoxy kit? Is it just standard resin with some color added?
I guess, but I just bought the stuff tbh.
Very good. Thoroughly enjoyed the upload.
Cheers just did mine thanks for your help 👊
Nice to see a sump replaced properly.
Thank you for this video, it gave me the confidence to change my broken heat exchanger.
Nicely done 👏👏👏
Do the flow and return seal and o rings come with heat cell?
Yes they normally do
Answer to an Ideal boiler...scrap it abd fur a Viessmann. Design fault in heat exchanger...mine lasted 2 years from new. Replacement warranty one year not ten. Ideal will not guarantee their boilers for ten years unless it was fitted from new with their own brand filter. Avoid.
Not true I have a logic plus in a rental property of mine and they have been out twice without question for repairs. Although I'm getting the baxi 800 in my upcoming rental
So my logic plus had a leaking heat exchanger. Rust inside on the metal plate at the bottom. Engineer said it might last a year, night go in 3 weeks. Needs a new boiler. Is he pushing for a bigger job? He said it's not cost effective to replace the heat exchanger. Boiler is about 7 years old. Serviced every year I'm a bit disappointed as he told me how good they are and that they are modular so easy to fix
Price heat exchanger up. Takes about an hour to change. It's usually the sump inspection that leaks externally wetting the combustion chamber. Heat exchanger often leak internally through Condense.
Bit of a silent type this geezer. some commentary would help. after watching this i think i'll stick a new vaillant in. Did not understand fully what he did.
Just did in a customer house so kept it quiet sorry. They are the easiest boiler to change parts on though.
Spot on .... with one hand .... unbelievable.... need to change mine this week :/
Newer models have that part that needs unscrewing underneath to release the condensate trap. Somewhat begs the question... Why did the heat exchanger fail so catastrophically that it needed replacing. Was it still under warrantee?
Yes it was under warranty. They can fail if over pressurized or a bad casting I guess.
Thanks for that. I have recommended the Logic and Vogue range to customers. I have become aware that the sumps can crack and fail/need replacing. Just annoys me that anyone, regardless of make/model, so many folk ignore the annual service, invalidate extended warranty and then complain when something does goes wrong. The main heat exchanger is probably the most expensive part. Good job the boiler was under initial 1 yr warrantee then.
@@loafersheffield the sumps always crack, albeit hairline just above the inspection cover usually to the right. We replace loads, though if it was mine smearing a bit of silicone over the crack internally usually does the trick. Not a bad boiler to work on though
Hi how much does the heat exchanger cost? And where can i buy one? Great vid
Thanks for the comments, sorry for the late reply. Buying from online stores is usually cheapest or through the likes of part centre. Don't know how much , I've never paid for one
close to £400 !!!
Ebay £99
@@Fegbeg for refurbished, have never seen a new one at that price.
@@stevecraythorn6355 refurbished but good as new
👍🌟
First time seeing someone use silicone to make screws stick, if it works it works!
The silicone is used as a lube and as an adhesive. Lube to get it pushed into position without deforming the O rings and as a part adhesive to make sure the O rings don't fall off whilst moving them into position.
Great vid, thanks. More please!!!!!!!!
how similar is this to the ideal mini ?
If it's a new mini or I mini the heat exchanger is virtually the same procedure, some of the controls are different. If it's an old mini with the atmospheric burner it's very different
Can you teach me how to do it.Great video.Do some more.
I wonder if you used two hands ... thanks for sharing that was a work of a pro ..
I am much quicker when I use both hands lol
