So..
Another video on Worcester Greenstar Junior. I think this is a repair, a majority of engineers run away from, only due to the lack of information.
I've made this video, for these engineers, so you know every step of how to do this job.
By the way, did you find the missed Little Component?😋
I can assure you, that it Was put Correctly in place, before testing the boiler 😌👍👍

So..the Little part that I forgot to put in, but realised after filling the pressure up to 1.5bar 🤯, was.... The Right, retaining clip, on the Bypass Pipe. So ..Quickly drained the boiler and put it in place, before taking a sigh of relief 😬

Fab video.. My right hand side plastic return unit was all fured up with limescale from a leak. I drained and replaced the right plastic unit and 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 back on. Blue light is mostly off, 1 blue light to two red lights. What have I missed / need to do to get it runnung again? Any ideas for me to check? Many thanks.

@fraj9907 it's so cool you have a you tube channel man Was gonna bell about a Worcester compact si board But the engineer before ordered the whole unit as the pcb was flashing all sorts of codes . So happy for you mate I feel you have found your calling And love your take on disecting boilers Worcester are not serviced friendly but you have an ability to make it look easy No scars or struggles Big man keep it up I completely enjoy the breakdowns on Worcester

@richienorthcott 8 ай бұрын

Been watching a few of these, this is by far the clearest. Thanks so much! I'm going to try changing just the adaptor on mine, but I think the leak may be from the return manifold which is obviously a bigger job. I have limescale deposits looking very much like what you show. I don't think you show it - but I guess you would also put silicone lube on the two heat exchanger seals where it joins the manifold?

@BoilerMend 8 ай бұрын

Well.. If the return manifold is showing limescale deposits, at the top rear side, then No silicone does the job. The manifold needs replacing

@richienorthcott 8 ай бұрын

@@BoilerMend Thanks - I was meaning if it's normal to put silicone lubricant on the two sealing rings between the return manifold and the metal heat exchanger plate when that gets reassembled? £110 later I have the spare part now, will be going in shortly. I wasn't thinking of trying to mend it. Also going to acid flush the heat exchanger while I have it out.

@richienorthcott 7 ай бұрын

@BoilerMend I got mine fixed - Since you asked - I'm thinking the missed component might have been the bypass valve? That doesn't come with the manifold kit so needs to be rescued from the one you're replacing.

@vlodski73 6 ай бұрын

Really good content!!! Thank you very much. However, I'd rather use silicone in spray instead of WD40. It's great stuff, but dissolves rubber (O-rings) and may cause leaks after a few months or years after use. Regards!!!

@BoilerMend 7 ай бұрын

Well you can easily fit a 14 plate hx (part no. ending 6850) IF! there are NO pipes running vertically, behind the boiler. Cuz that's the only factor which makes it difficult to fit a 14 plate, even to replace a 10 plate (part no. Ending 6860)

@kevinstewart6904 7 ай бұрын

@@BoilerMend thanks very much for the reply, my pipes are all from below and boiler fitted on 25mm straps on the wall so got more room than normal. I'll go ahead and order the slightly larger heat exchanger 😊

I have been advised to change my worcester boiler as this part is leaking?.....is this correct ?......any suggestions and are u around the Birmingham area?....thanks

@BoilerMend 2 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for your message. I am based in London. 2ndly, this component can leak, either air or water. But doesn't mean that you have to replace the boiler. if you are not originally planning on replacing the boiler. I would suggest, call/ Worcester Bosch directly. I think they charge a fixed price of around £360, with 3 major and 3 minor parts included, even if they have to take the boiler off the wall to repair it. A lot better than spending thousands on an unplanned boiler replacement. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Good luck.

regarding the ex vess pipe, if you leave a 2mm gap between the grips and housing, you can place a flat blade screwdriver between, twist the driver, and it will allow the ex vess pipe to move and becomes free. the same can be done with the by-pass pipe. the return unit you were supplied with is a service engineer only part? not what the merchants should sell.(I would contact your supplier). the plate is possibly the wrong one, if the removed plate was the original, the 14 plate (685) is for the 28i / 30si, the (686) is for the 24i / 25si. old plates 12 become 10 and 16 became 14. cool interesting vid tho.
