- This is a short video showing a Vaillant Turbomax, that on arrival had not worked for 6 weeks or more. I took the challenge and began to go thru a general service / diagnosis of what the probable causes could be, with the years of experience of these boilers. In the video it shows comprehensive tests that I carried out inc Electrode and expansion vessel and many visual checks that may or may not have been Spoken in the video for safety sake. You should ONLY work on Gas Appliances if You ARE GAS-SAFE registered it is against the Law to work on one if you are not A competent person.
The information here is for New candidates in the industry and general Entertainment purposes. I hope you like and support the channel by watching more videos and maybe liking the Videos.
Love it. Great to see a real engineer and not a fitter of parts
Great video once again. Shows how with common sense and patience a top service can be provided. We learn everyday
Well done great methodical approach 👍
Quality boiler, quality video. Thanks, Dr P.
woodbine66 Always a pleasure 👍
Nice to see a fellow repair man at work, methodical and logical.
I feel like we are a dyeing breed these days, what with most one man bands just slinging in new boilers all the time and most people on monthly cover.
Have enjoyed binge watching your channel this weekend :D
Appreciate the comment and agree 👍
Excellent work Dr 👍
Great video and exploring the world as a gas engineer, I value your experience and teaching new gas safe engineers.
m Mack thanks glad you enjoyed it
Nice one , the Turbomax and Ecomax are the best boilers that Vaillant ever produced in my opinion , I still work on dozens of these every year and they are pretty bullet proof.......
Cheers.....👍
Totally agree with you there bud, I had a turbomax 25 years, rock solid performance. The last six years I've had the Ecotec Plus 837 and already gone through 4 water pressure sensors, 1 expansion tank, 3 divertor valves and now a blocked main heat exchanger. 😬
Great to see what a bit of effort can do.
gas on only get out what you put in .. thanks for watching much appreciated
Thank you so much for giving the time and energy recording these videos i know it must take up alot of your time in editing etc etc, really helpful video 👌👍
Razz Thanks very much much appreciated 🙏. Yes it’s massive the time to edit a 10-15 min video is 4 hours min. That’s without the filming it. Per week maybe 1 whole day. Why I do it to help people that appreciate it like you. I receive No financial gain for any of this it’s merely to help. Hence why when people are Negative abt any aspect even thumbs down think guys what’s the point really, if we’re so good at all this point us over to your Chanel that’s so great 😁. Thanks for watching and feedback Razz appreciated.

Nice always gives one a sense of satisfaction when you get a boiler going thats been off for 6 weeks or 6 engineers have already looked at. What was the burn mark on the electrical casing or did i miss that bit.
I wish I could be an apprentice for Dr. Pipe!
This would be the standard I want to meet if I became a gas engineer. BTW, we share the same dress code although I am an electrical/electronic engineer.
Good to me 👍👍

Hi Doc the cable pressure gauge testers very nice can you send me a link for them and also the cable u use to manually work the pump with the 3 pins socket end and the other end has various crimped ends? Cheers mate

Hi mate not sure if u can help I’ve had a hive thermostat installed today on my valliant 242 the pressure gauge is working but the temp gauge isn’t seems like it’s stuck on the same bit
Hi, it was great to see the troubleshooting. Did it require any combustion chamber sealing gasket for this model?
Fawad Malik no 👍👍
Hello Dr Pipe, I was wondering where I can get a hold of the Extension for the pump, which was used on the expansion vessel. If you can send me a direct link, that would be wonderful.
Infinatic regin or ebay
sir I have a question, this aqua signal ignites the gas boiler but is it a continous signal or just a one time ? the reason i am asking this is , i am doing a project and i have connected a electric heater to heat water but i dont want to run both heaters at same time and want to save my gas money so i figured if i just block this aqua signal , i can stop gas boiler from igniting ! so please if you reply it will be a huge help ! thanks in advance!!
Hi, my boiler is vaillant vuw 260 . The problem is that if the chimney led flashing more than 90 seconds after it doesn't start, just running the pump forever. Any idea why?
Thank you!
I have a turbomax. Is it normal when heating on it fires up, runs then stops for a while then does again? When flame not on pump is still running? It's always done this since I lived here 7years?
Hi Pipe，wipe with a clean wet cloth first ，with less dust.
What is your view on a viallant turbomax combi compared to the new condensing boilers?
m Mack I actually really like the Turbo max. Energy wise very little in it dependant on Temp used. A rated boilers are only A rated at 55 degrees + 10 and loose rating rapidly after that .. so in essence unless your customers has ufh then highly likely the temps going up to 65-70 ! Thanks for watching
Great video. But one thing wouldn't it been easier to remove the pump after all you have drained the boiler.
gasfitter78 Nooo .. always try to disturb the least amount of fittings or components when doing work within repairs.. reason being higher risk of other leaks issues etc. If however the plan doesn’t go well then yes by all means remove items to create better working environment. For instance sometimes working under a sink I will take the door off especially if it’s quick release ! In this case came out super easy ! Thanks for watching.
@@drpipe i completely understand
Is that positive pressure?
What is that tool you're using to open the drain off points?

No dress code here Fellas ! had been up late editing this so that I can try and get a Vid out Every week.
All working fine, but not permitted in a bathroom ! I'm not sure in the UK but not allowed in Ireland
Steve Mcguinness boxed 👍
Can have in a bathroom but not in that location as within 600mm of bath edge. Zone 2 leccys call it.
Zoning ?
No I was not saying use a mask.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment was what I was saying.
I bet 8 out of 10 engineers would have said need new boiler.
E K I bet they would have.. just fancied a challenge.. gonna do a strip down soon if your interested. Thanks for watching
@@drpipe yes looking forward to it,tanx
Hot water control nob, inhibitor, install isolation switch etc ??? Without means of isolation boiler is min AT RISK especially in a bathroom....
Meanwhile, back in the real world.
Good one Doc👍👍👍
