35cdi expansion vessel

[mfgs]

I have been passed on a job by a mate. A worcester 35cdi standard efficiency about 10 years old needs a new expansion vessel. He says its the one with the cylindrical shape vessel at the front down the bottom of the boiler, ( i think there is another version with a flat round vessel at the back down the bottom aswell ?? ) I cant for the life of me remember how easy these are to change and whats involved. Does anyone know roughly how long it will take? as I need to give the client a price. The job is too far for me to go and have a look to just give a price and the customer wont let work start without a fixed fee agreed.

I think it is much the same as the old 350's. One screw and a clip and it pulls out. You have got to allow for the unexpected tho as it is a fixed price.

Cheers tamz. Yeah I will price in for some extra time, just couldnt remember off the top of my head how these came out. Been a few years since I changed one and didnt want to stitch myself up on the pricing.

it could be as tanz said,the screw and clip affair or it could be like the other cdi,s a right mare all the gubbins have to come out and it will pee out everywhere afterwards but there are 2 ways to avoid this if its the later type,1 if theres enough room to get a pop riveter in on the lh side cradle brake all the pops and the vessel can be slid out the side,re pop it afterwards 2 fit a external EV

My mate said its right at the front so hopefully it should be the easy one. I will double check with him as if it is at the back then I will be fitting an external one for sure as they are a nightmare.
