About this deal
Both of these genuine SYNCHRON motors work in Honeywell motorised valves. The motors SYNCHRON make specifically for Honeywell come with two blue wires Seized motorised valve spindle in an old Satchwell Sunvic 2-port motorised valve. The water leakage has caused white oxides to form round the brass spindle, making it too stiff to turn The powerhead or actuator is the electrical section. It’s comprised of a motor and some electronic components and usually has one or more microswitches. The Honeywell valves have a D-shaped top to the spindle but you can also use a spanner on this. If you do this, you must use very little force as it is very easy to shear a spindle or damage the valve internally.
There are lots of poor quality synchronous motors out there. If the motor cap says “Synchronous” rather than “SYNCHRON ®” it may cost less than half but you’ll probably be changing it again before long!V4044C motorised valves are 3 port diverter valves. They send flow to either the hot water port or the heating port but not both, except briefly during switchover. They are 3 wire valves.
System boilers may also have a diverter valve or zone valve built into them and might not have any external zone valves. If, for example, the heating valve is failing in this way, you will get heat round the radiators while the cylinder hot water is being heated too. When the cylinder is up to temperature, the hot water motorised valve closes and no longer tells the boiler to fire, so the heating now stops too. The commonest fault with Honeywell motorised valves is motor failure. Honeywell valve motor fault? Testing a Synchron valve motor

V4043H1080 is a 2 port, 1” BSP Female threaded, 6-wire, normally-closed zone valve with an auxiliary end switch If Hot Water is then satisfied (either by the programmer or cylinder stat), the grey wire is energised. As there is still a demand for Heating, the valve will motor to the Heating Only position (port A open; port B closed) and switch a 230V supply onto the orange wire, to power the boiler.
