Many thanks Totalshell. Everything done according to your instructions, and the boiler is now running at just over 1 BAR. I also removed the key afterwards. I will keep an eye on the pressure, because there is a slight water leak from somewhere in the boiler, just a few drops on the tray...

I have had the Greenstar 24i in for 4 months now, and we have just started using the heating more. The pressure when cold has dropped into the red zone - below .5 bar. I want to up the pressure to 1 - 1.5 bar, how do I do it? I have the key, and I can insert it, but I don't know if it should be...

More problems. I have switched the combi back to the centre position - off, reset - because the 02 error message (overheating) came on. That was two days ago, and the thing is still flashing, despite being switched off. Is the display knackered, because the boiler is not firing up? Is this a...

Boabcelt and others, thanks for your help, I could have done with this years ago. I do think that my boiler has had it though, because since the weekend we have had no hot water, and the overheating error code 02 has come up several times, whenever we have used the hot taps. The latest guy did...

I have had a few quotes for work to be done on the existing Vokera, and the list looks like this: New diverter valve/motor, powerflush the system, possible new expansion vessel, possible problem with PCB - possible total, around seven hundred quid. Is it worth it with a ten year old boiler...

We have got one of those in line scale inhibitor thingys, but I guess that they are about as much use as a rubber chisel. What do you reckon on the rough cost of powerflushing the system, sorting out the diverter valve and possibly fixing the expansion vessel (if it is damaged)? I know this is...

Thanks Tony and Dave, I half suspected the diverter valve motor, but it is way beyond my capabilities to start trying to fix the thing. We do live in a hard water area, so the system gets bunged up. The last guy cleaned the heat exchangers about six months ago, but the system has never had a...

I have a Vokera Linea 24 combi boiler (ten years old), and it has been nothing but trouble for the last eight years. We have had numerous engineers (at least seven), who have never really solved the problems, which are currently: No hot water, despite only water selected, but the rads are...

Paul, I am not sure where you are coming from - this is a forum, where people discuss things in an open way. I along with many others (as you rightly point out) do not put their contact details down - that is the beauty of a forum. Take Wisey for instance, he has helped me by posting a link to a...

Thanks Wisey, if only I had known this a couple of days ago - still I may have to use him in the future. Funnily enough, one of my mates said he was good as well (pity he didn't mention it a couple of months ago) Thanks, Andy

MarkBarl, is this an alternative to Powerflushing, and is it something anyone can do, because my Vokera Linea based system has the same fault. Andy

Thanks Wisey, we have a plumber on the case as I write this. It would seem though, that I (actually not me but my heating system) require a powerflush, which he cannot do. Do you know of any reliable firms in the area who do this. Your e mail address is not showing in your profile bye the way...

Can anyone out there recommend a good plumber in the Medway area (Kent), who is used to dealing with Vokera Linea boilers. This comes after wasted phone calls, and engineers who don't seem to know what they are looking for. Thanks, Andy

Thanks Agile/Gas4You, I have been looking through some of the other posts, and have noticed that this seems to be a common problem on Lineas. I forgot to mention that I live in a hard water area, resulting in a lot of lime build up. Is it worth me using the three way switch to isolate the...

Thanks for the advice folks, is ait a straightforward job to service the heat exchanger, or should I leave well alone? The pressure testing was done by the last engineer (Iwatched him doing it), but didn't seem to do any good. My radiators are off at the moment, but I did notice during the...
