Thanks for a very informative video. On our Main Combi 30 HE boiler, which looks to have the identical components here, during hot water demand, water is escaping to the heating circuit giving intermittent hot and cold water at the taps. On observing the diverter valve during operation, both the hot water pin and heating pin are pushed out but the heating pin stays out even when there is no heating demand, only hot water demand. Does this mean the components in the diverter valve heating portion are at fault or is it another component inside? The boiler and central heating has been power flushed less than a year ago and all else seems fine. The diaphragm in the front hot water portion of the diverter assembly has been checked and is in good condition. A couple of engineers have visited giving different opinions including change the diverter valve, change the diverter valve and the secondary heat exchanger and of course, change the whole boiler. Another said the plate heat exchanger was blocked. Appreciate any advice.

Dr Pipe! Visited a potterton today with this set up, will be going back again...it’s had replaced the div valve diaphragm & the section behind it, the push rod still barely wants to come out to make dhw switch...is this an issue with something at the rear of the valve or the pressure in the 2 thin copper pipes? Any help much appreciated for a vulnerable customer! Cheers

Been having an issue with my 105he that I needed to turn two hot taps on for the boiler to recognise the call for heat. 2 local plumbers came out both have said it’s the diaphragm. So got it replaced and the fault stayed. After educating myself I found the plastic cap (you unscrewed) on the non return valve broken off causing equal pressure to the change over diaphragm. Flow circuit non return valve (you said check valve it’s actually a non return valve) was the issue all along! £13.50 and all sorted. Super simple mechanical system. Fucking brain dead plumbers all just want a digital screen telling them an error code.

HI i have a Potterton combi that has a problem with intermittent hot water. some times it will work ok but will take some time to get hot other times it will not give me hot water then after some time will start to give hot water then it will go cold again then it will go hot and it will run OK but some times it will get very hot . some times it will run cold and not give hot water at all till you turn the hot tap off and then on again . what could be the problem ? the only time i checked the divert valve it had operated the micro switch and the hot water was working. it would be great if some one could give me some advice on what could be the problem ?as it is a bit frustrating
