Worcester 28CDi Diverter Valve

[gww212j]

There is a leak on my Worcester 28 CDi boiler and it appears to drip from the spindle on the divertor valve. The boiler operates correctly and the spindle moves when hot water is demanded.

However there is this frequent drip from the spindle area under no load or when the central heating is on and it gets worse when hot water is demanded.

There are two small allen screws on the spindle body enclosure. Do these do anything (like tighten the gland)?

Anyone got any ideas?

Many Thanks in Advance

no they dont.

the valves gotta come out, & thats not much fun.

I was hoping that wasn't the case. guess ive got to just bite the bullet.

Any one got any hints or tips to make the job easier

i must have taken out 50-100 & i wouldn't look forward to it.

if you've got plenty of time, are confident in your ability, have manufacturers instructions, havent lost your filling key, an 'o' ring kit & silicon grease. away you go.

WB will replace it for £180. Believe me that is a small price to pay
