Vaillant Case Insulation

[jaydebruyne]

Serviced a Vaillant Ecotec Plus combi the other day and all the case insulation is crumbling.

Can this be bought to replace as looked for it on partsarena but couldn't see anything?

Cheers

Have seen this before.
Anybody know what causes it?

Yup.. that's the stuff! On a side note, does anyone else find Vaillant tech support to be some of the rudest people alive!?!?!?!?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Yes rude bunch,

I just assumed it dried out from the warmth inside the casing .

Makes a right mess on kitchen worktops

Same. Assumed it was the heat. Does it actually need to be replaced if it's turned to poop?

I'm sure someone has told mien the past its just to muffle the workings of the boiler

If i recall the ones i came across on contract always had a fuel seal issue.

Lot of talk on the fb groups its A/R as forms part of the seal, can be replaced but have to order the whole door to do it something silly like 150 quid

 

[hammers4spanner]

If it forms part of thr case seal, it's ID. Anyway as long as the case seals ok it's fine.
As for not liking Vaillants, what else is there? Every boiler has its foybles.
Ideals leak
Baxis leak and they're to big
Intergas user controls are baffling at best
Worcestors design makes no sense at all
And so on.

If the black stuff gets wet or damp it turns to dust too !
I've noticed it more and more.
I've also had more probs recently with Vaillant

With you on the Intergas boilers, have fitted a few but put off by control panel , think if they made it simpler to use they would sell a lot more.
