Worcester cdi service...

[Aire]

Hi guys, got a Worcester greenstar 30cdi to service, I checked it last year and fan pressure was with acceptable limits but boilers 5 years old thos year so will need burner cleaning out. Am I right in thinking you need a special brush as well as a burner gasket or is it just the gasket I need? Thanks

I dont do Worcester Craig but do remember from years ago that you buy a kit which contains a brush etc .

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes best to around £30 for the seal and gasket

Plus another £10-£20 for the top gasket

Also electrodes

Thanks chaps, never serviced a Worcester before so thought I'd double check. Is the top seal and front seal seperate items then, don't they sell a kit that comes with both and the brush kit?

Brush and front seal eg the door will come as one

Top seal is separate

Also electrodes are Separate

Ok thanks, how likely is it the electrodes will need changing?

 

[Gasmk1]

if never changed before i would say highly likely

Highly normally last around 5 years max (pic was 6 and giving ea lockout once and a while)

You can also do the bearning plate if it hasn’t been done

Ok then, so gasket, top seal, brushes and electrodes it is then. It's the tilers boiler who does our bathrooms, he's a moaning f**ker at the best of times so I'm sure he'll be thrilled when I tell him the price 😀

You can not put a price on safety mate.😛😛

 

[ShaunCorbs]

TBH around £150 coves is ish

 

[Aire]

Yeah looking around £80 for parts and should allow 2 hours labour as I've not done one before so don't need to be rushing.

He will soon moan if you don't strip & then it goes **** up in the middle of the winter.
Do it once & do it properly.
He can then start saving for the next time it reqs a major strip/service out if boiler lasts that long.
Best to change the bearing plate also because it usually takes the fan out if one of the flaps separates & goes through.
Cheers,
Andy

Serviced boiler today, went well for my first one, turns out boilers actually 7 years old and the electrodes were in bad condition so definitely needed replacing. Tiler didn't flinch at the price either. Cheers for the help guys.

he's obviously earning too much then
