What it is
The Ideal 174129 Heat Engine Kit is a replacement heat exchanger assembly for the Mexico HE range of domestic gas boilers. It transfers heat from the combustion gases into the system water that serves the radiators and the hot water circuit. The kit is produced by Ideal for the Mexico HE 15, HE 18 and HE 24 models.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water weeping from the heat exchanger body or from its water connections
- Repeated boiler lockouts or ignition faults traced back to the heat exchanger
- Kettling, banging or rumbling noises while the boiler is firing
- Reduced heating or hot water output with the burner still running
- Visible corrosion, scale build-up or distortion across the exchanger surfaces
Before you order
- Confirm the GC number on the appliance data badge matches one of the numbers listed above.
- Check the boiler model and variant, as the Mexico HE 15, HE 18 and HE 24 are rated differently.
- Inspect the seals and gaskets on the combustion and water connections and renew them if they are perished or flattened.
