    This saved my bacon today, replaced plate heat exchanger, right hand side block and manifold, as well as PRV. No way I'd feel comfortable enough to tackle this job without this video.

    Removing the whole hydroblock to replace the p2p seems like a light bulb moment

    Allen this is probably the best content you have uploaded with viva training academy and Roy etc and all of your content is of extremely high quality.
    Absolutely loving the videos of boilers being stripped and each part being thoroughly explained how it works and what they do.
    You and Roy are wizards. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for this video. The company responsible for my boiler insurance with Domestic & General have to come back and replace the PRV on my Greenstar 24i Junior. I now know that, after shutting off all the radiators and draining what's left, a competent plumber should be able to remove the hydroblock relatively quickly in order to replace this part. I've seen several videos that attempt to replace the PRV without doing this, and it seems far more trouble than removing the block. While I wouldn't consider working on the boiler myself I really do like to know what is being done, and how it should be done.

  • @betatester2560
    @betatester2560 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    another thing to be advised about .. the washers that go in the top of the hydro-block are called Bonded Washers they are bosh specific they have little tabs do not try put the system back together without them. I am not sure where mine went if anywhere... but i did find broken Fibre washers which lead me to believe that was the washer needed.. which is wrong... cut a long story short after watching a few vids and visiting a few plumbing spares websites i found out about that the correct proprietary washer.. another side part is that you can use a regular bonded washer on the left hand block that does not have little tabs.

    Roy, fab video.. my right hand side plastic unit was all fured up with a leak. I drained and replaced the right plastic unit, the flow turbine, re pressurised to 1.5bar, (the diverted valve solenoid looks really low and doesn't raise more than 3 mm) and it will not turn on. Blue light mostly off, 1 blue light to two red lights. What amhave I missed / need to do? Many thanks Roy and team.

  • @stevehouse3904
    @stevehouse3904 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Don't understand why they put the prv where they did, you can pop a baxi out in minutes, having to take the hydraulic block out just doesn't make any sense, and they don't come out as easy as you are implying, also you forgot to mention those unusual metal type washers that you can miss when to release those clips with the pump pliers, then you can't buy the washers and seals just enough to replace the prv, they supply a big bag with every clip, O ring and washer in the boiler around £45, I've got a big tin of the ones I didn't use. Even standard fibre washers won't fit as the male end has a little lip on it so you can only use WB washers and they don't give you any extra. I walked away from one of these last week that needed a new prv, just couldn't face it.

    Hi great video, just a quick question, is this the same setup on a Worcester Bosch greenstar 30i? I have a problem with my boiler, when the hot water is off the pressure goes over 3 bars but when the hot water is running it drops down to just below 3 bars. What can be the main issue? Cheers

  • @joe2mercs
    @joe2mercs 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would be interested to see common primary heat exchanger faults. Recently had an cast alloy heater exchanger on a Worcester Bosch RD32 split at the side that was not visible from the front. It would hold pressure when cold but when the heating was re-engaged it would slowly lose pressure and leak out about a litre of water in 24 hours.

    I have a P2P to change on the Greenstar classic the pipes go straight out of the valve into the wall so no chance of moving hot pipe out of the way, do you recommend removing the hydro block to change p2p
