Hello, my name's Mark... Welcome to my You Tube channel.
I'm a time served Gas Service Engineer, and I've been in the gas, heating and plumbing industry for the last 37 years. My career began in 1979 with British Gas (the proper old one), and has included a vast amount experience encompassing employment as a Gas Safe Inspector (Corgi), Service Technician at VAILLANT, Gas/Heating engineer on LPG (Calor Gas) and too many more to mention.
I run a small but highly professional company of associates in the GAS, HEATING & PLUMBING field, based in Central LONDON.
I'm also a qualified assessor and lecturer, and when I can find the time, I still train, assess and approve Plumbers in boiler diagnostics and servicing, as well as the ACS gas qualifications at the National Construction College in Erith, Kent. www.intaplumb.co.uk
If you require professional services in the London area, then please feel free to visit our specialist websites, and contact us.

Просмотров 83 тыс.4 года назад

This applies to all the boilers in the range. Incl the Vaillant Ecotec 831 824 832, 6 series etc. Vaillant appliances have had this issue ongoing for the past 8 years.

Vaillant Ecotec Diverter Valves: Leaks and Failure
Просмотров 72 тыс.8 лет назад
Vaillant Ecotec Diverter valves fail regularly, and often leak through the piston seals. This is often attributed to the valves themselves, but more commonly this is due to water quality of the heating system, powerflushing, and chemicals in the system. Regular replacements would indicate the fault is not with the Diverter valves!

Great video
Mark British Gas are full of newly qualified cowboys who don't even know the component names inside the boiler
British gas ,how to leave a boiler like that embarrassing.
Can I call you I live in romford I need help with a vallient turbo max 242 vuw
Mark loads of cowboys newly qualified through fast trak that know nothing on fault finding and tend to just replace unnecessary components in the hope it will work.
No Hot water turbomax, phoned Mark and was given an appointment next day, Mark arrived earlier than expected and had the boiler up and running within the hour, this is a genuine repair man, highly recommended, keep up the good work Mark,good on yer.
Amazing
Hello good sir. I have same boiler, but this white plastic thing is stuck in the UP position and is not moving at all. Do you think it's clogged pipes problem as in your case?
All to rip them off mark
Surprised british gas gave cover for boiler so old..
Lol am I the only one that can smell BG agenda?😩 nice video tho
Very nice video please can I come and do training with you
Aye get where you coming from. But if working on all the different boiler's out there like the big company's sometimes you get lost in how that make works. And they poor sods and prob on 12 jobs a 8hr shift no time to spend actually diagnosing right they go for getting a above average right to make their kpis. Not right but that's how work. Quantity over quality 😕😕
Does that aav look likes it leaking or just the camera
Bet the pipes blocked
That's a old but goody
Hi getting lukewarm water when tap is fully open when tap is quarter open getting hot water radiators working fine what can the problem be thanks
Hi Mark I’ve had a problem with my turbo max 282 e for quite a while now I’ve changed the diverter valve and the condenser last year I still get hot water problems were I turn the hot water on and after maybe 5-8 mins it will shut the hot water down and run cold I have rang Vaillant to se if somebody could come out and was informed That the boiler was to old for them to come out and repair The I noticed your RUclips comment on the pd switch which sounds probable But I couldn’t find anything on if I need to drain system or how to remove pipes off the rear of pd switch
I get the same problem, tried everything but nothing worked
Hey there Mark. I realise that this is an unorthodox request, but after troubleshooting with your videos, there are some issues that only a human, and an expert human such as yourself at that, could possibly help me with. Unfortunately I'm a tad out of your area or I would call you out haha. Any chance it would be okay to call you with a a few questions? I wouldn't take much of your time and would be willing to pay for the quick consult if you're willing to help. Thanks in advance :)
Would you can to Wales to do mine please lol
Cannot see how you say British Gas visited on 5 occasions,and fitted only d valve. Poor from engineer if true
Good old British Gas . Pay for one of there cover plans get a free drive by service . And the engineer gets a budget of 20 pence to fix problems . Why do people still believe the are the rolls royce in the gas world ??? They are expensive and they dont service anything
See loads of misdiagnosing and the normal outcome is they go for a new boiler cause the previous companies haven't got a Scoobies but still profit from it
Don’t agree with bad mouthing other gas engineers to customers. Just do your job, not about points scoring. Enjoyed the video though 👍🏻
So you work for BG then?
It is easy if you understand how these boilers work.
I can’t believe that the customer has 6 visits prior to yours ... it was more than an obvious fault wasn’t it. Shocking how British Gas and other people work. I see that daylily to be fair. Well done
Excellent video. Thank you
Ex group service engineer, apart from diverter most common fault on this boiler
These new Gas Safe engineers mostly have no technical knowledge or background they usually replace every component of the boiler randomly with hope to hit the jackpot. Some times even dangerously!!!! This is true in every industry.
Just a licence to print money reason they check every thing is to waste time and charge the poor customers a fortune. Most important part of a service to a boiler is to hover the carbon out and check no gas leaks. My Dad was a gas fitter for the huge firms all his life and told me all the cons in this game. Dont forget to frighten your customers with horror story's they will allways want the boiler looked at. If the build of these boilers was like they where years ago the boilers would not break down. I've lived in many Country's and when I've asked about gas boiler servicing they said the same thing if it's not broke why pay a person a huge amount of money just in case it may break in the future and when it does they will rob you blind yet again. Years gone by people never paid to get a boiler annually serviced any jobs if it broke down was a simple matter of repairs not a load of bluffing by these company's. It's very easy this type of work and easily available on the Internet of how to service any gas or oil boiler. Why do these people charge so much money for parts and labour when the parts at trade price are never exspensive in the first place. This industry is the same as car clamping was frighten, your customers get in get out get paid, it's day light robbery.
Great video,loved it excellent job.do you only do valiants,and where are you based ,we are in newark notts.ours is a baxi solo 18.
Dont forget to flush out condesate trap, do electrical safety checks, inlet working pressure on P1,flue termination and condition, combustion readings on P1 and P2,gas rate it on P1, hw & ch max t, check all failsaves f28,f29,f32, f22. door seals, plus,are all min requirements on every service every year
Good man.
Top Video! How do i get involved with Vaillant? They are the boiler of choice for installer & consumer.
What the charge for a full service..please kindly let me know...
Site has disappeared, it seems.
hi mark, what is the exact bar you leave the expansion vessel on? am I correct in thinking 1.2?
Hi there I've got a problem on my boiler F 23 keeps coming up and F 24 don't know what to do hellllllp mark... the water is freezing no heating changed the heat exchanger hope you can help? Lee
In this vídeo you've showed us a proper service in a naked boiler. Could you show the process to get the boiler naked? Thank's.Gretting from Spain
Who's much do you charge for a full service
hi,Quick question,i have a Valliant boiler and is most often f22 error display sometimes is 3-4 times a day,what is cause?thanks...
Kris f22 is low pressure fault iirc. Check you dont have any leaks on boiler/heating system. If not possibly your prv is letting by.
jamboSAFC thanks,there's no leaks,it may b prv,but i discovered something else,the air is coming out slowly from expansion vessel throu that valve to b used for charching...
how much does this service cost please
when you say sensor do you mean the aqua sensor?
There's a good question, far too much to explain in comments, watch the video on F.75 on the channel. It may hep, a bit!
What's f75 fault code sir ?
I had to repair one 😨😨😨. it was like looking into an aeroplane engine. Turned out to be a little switch next to the pump. thought it was diverted valve. I never guess a was call the manufactures. nice video great channel.
Hi Mark, you stress the importance of the pressure vessel, what symptoms, when it is low on pressure have you seen from you experience ? .. BTW excellent channel full of info
+Chris Anderson High rate of pressure increase when in heating operation, regular pressure loss (usually through the PRV), and can cause slow heating circulation, or radiators on the end of the circuit don't heat up as much as the rest of the system.
That sounds like just like the problem I have on my glow worm compact installed 2002 ish I will take a look / point my gas engineer in that direction , thanks again :-)
