Aga gas valve Junkers

[Youmitegetian]

Hi all i've got an Aga with a Junkers gas valve. My local engineer came round to service and light the Aga today and found the valve has a gas leak.
he informed me that this is very common with the Junkers valve and the usually cause of action is to replace it at a cost of £700.
he also told me it is caused by an o ring that perishes over time.
im hoping someone knows if the valve can be fixed or refurbished as £700 to get the aga working is out of the question, any help would be very much appreciated

sounds right, junkers valves are obsolete so you need a new burner/gas valve unit at sone £500 plus vat and the engineers 20% makes £700 come along very quickly. Having done that it will keep going another 20 years, not a lot per year.
