This was our first one and it went very well. Viessmann did an excellent job providing all the parts and tools necessary along with step-by-step instructions.

It took Loretta and I 3 hrs. from start to finish. The hardest part was removing the flue.

One down, six to go.

    Tell me, inquiring minds want to know. That in the heck went wrong and why and what model. I guess replacing the HX is one way to clean it.

    Whaaaat? They gave you a Viessmann tool kit, too.

    It's a voluntary recall by Viessmann.

    After doing the first one I am sure you will get speedier on the rest. Dosen't look like too bad of a job

    We have a box sitting in our office. Was the tool kit in a different box? Am I supposed to ask for that?

    The tool kit is a separate item. Standard torx bits, but there's an extended bit that unscrews the nuts on the back wall that holds the HX in place that's very helpful.

    The tag on my invoice says part #V9537070.

    Make sure to clean that European P trap every year. It can easily block and flood the combustion chamber.

    They give you a new, different trap to replace along with the HX. And yes, there was debris at the bottom and a great idea to clean it out periodically.

    Just remember to fill it up again with water before you turn on the boiler so flue gasses don't come spilling out at the drain.
