I've recently had this boiler serviced and I'm waiting for a new filter and grommit to be fitted. The engineer topped up the system when it was serviced on 27th Oct. Seven days later it flashed e75 and I restarted and refilled the system although it took extra effort to restart and sounded...

Thankyou, The boiler went off today showing error 75 so I topped it up again. It took about 10 days to do that. This recent plumber 10 days ago only serviced the boiler and ordered a new filter and also found the cemented outlet pipe outside. It was the plumber last year that changed the...

I have always topped up this boiler while the heating is on and going by the dial gage. I top it up to just a bit over half way of the gray area in the gage avoiding the red area. What I'm concerned about is a plumber has told me he thinks the dial gage must be showing the wrong reading and...

It was not ebay, I don't use ebay I have just had another look and it says £48 to trade Anyway I went to them because they were local and in businesss for years I just wanted to get it done asap and thought I would give them a try witrh this boiler this time. I am now wondering if it is...

This job has now been done and I just wondered if I am paying the right price for this? They never give an invoice at this plumbers so you can't see what is for parts and what is for labour but the boss phoned me today to say the price is £216.50. They also only ever give a hand written reciept...

Plumber turned up today 10 days after first visit, he came with another plumber probably because hes not very familiar with my boiler. After an hour they came to tell me that vaillant had sent them the wrong sized o rings and they would need to speak to vaillant again and then get the correct...

I would look myself if I could but I can't unfortunately. Hoping they will ring tomorrow

The colour may be wrong but that sounds like a description of the plate HE. Not a common place for a leak on this model but nor is the diverter valve either. But then leaks can occur anywhere. Wonderful as the old boiler was ( Sine 18 ? ) but never having it services says more to me about...

Thanks, I'm hoping he will be back to do it early next week, its weird though because it can go all night without leaking even with heating on then it will leak another night. I'm not moaning about the old combi vaillant boiler it was very reliable and only needed topping up every 18 months...

The plumber came round and had a look at it, he is a local plumber that I've used before for other things but not the boiler. He had to look in the book to find out what part is actually leaking and said it was the diverter, he didn't say diverter valve just diverter and he pointed to a flat...

Thanks, have called engineer out now. The heating and water have gone off again even though I topped it up at around 8am so its getting much worse. I had a vaillant combination boiler for 19 years before this one and it was brilliant, in fact I never had it serviced in that time and it was...

I have to keep topping up the boiler as it flashes empty. It first started as a slow drip from the bottom of the right hand side panel wall but now its dripping from the left side panel wall except it drips much more on the left side. Its not constant so I think it might be just when the...

Tried to put this on showerdoc forum but as I havent had a reply back yet and now have the water turned off (which was a struggle) I really wanted to try and fix it now so hoping I might get some advice here if possible I have the service kit now and I'm preparing to try and fit it but before...

In case the jumper is loose can I get the top off the tap and just tighten it up with a screwdriver or spanner? and as its just the hot tap thats the problem I wont have to do the cold side will I? its a mixer tap with separate main stop taps for hot and cold. Its so confusing being like that, I...

I thought it was called an expansion tank that had to be repressurised, thats the kind of tank I was thinking of. I wasnt sure if it was part of the pump as the man had worked on it. I'll have to get these things checked out anyway, from what I've read here it could it could be any of them...
