never happened. For example he must have insured the car as it is required, same with the house...
Cool story bro...
Plus sentences and paragraphs help with understanding what you are writing.
Having the above boiler fitted soon. Smaller (dimensionally) than the current one and wondered if it is permissible and possible to purchase a vertical flue extension to go before the 45 degree connector in order to extend up approx 200mm and re-use the existing flue hole? Would be ideal not to...
Tested the air pressure switch from the control board. Easy enough to test that is is open when the fan is off and closed when the boiler starts up, no need to remove the cover.
As for the fan that was just my ears. I have no intention of playing with gas.
This is not a replacement, this...
Having some problems wit h my combi, I've been reading through all the topics covering it here but I couldn't come up with a reason for me still getting no sparks. Apart from maybe a PCB has gone.
So far I've gone through the fault finding procedure:
- Neon lights up.
- Voltages are good...
Just to give an update so you know how the story ended:
I called BG after 11 days were up and asked about my 7-10 days water test, and was told "Oh, it could take up to a month to get results back". I was not best pleased, and spoke to their customer care team who has supposedly got the...
To keep everyone updated on the story, my engineer came back to take a (crystal clear) water sample, and now I have to wait 7-10 days to get the results back. If it comes back okay, the next step will be BG replacing the heat exchanger.
I asked about copper paste, and he said that if you're...
BG is such a big company, they need a lot of people. They ran into a lot of trouble a few years back by simply not having the staff to take on all the work they wanted to do, leaving a lot of people having paid for a service they didn't receive. They need to keep recruiting and training people...
Well it seems I did by searching around and asking here to get some experienced opinions by people who knew exactly what the problem is, as opposed to my BG engineer who had never heard the issue and didn't know anything about it. Who didn't even take a water sample while he was here and wants...

No it doesn't. Sounds exactly like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lVMHDU8dAY though it's anywhere from every couple of minutes to a dozen times a minute depending how it's heating things up. It's a clanging/clunking sort of noise that stops once the boiler is hot or cold. In this...
That's exactly my point. He's the expert on site, but he deferred against his own opinion in favour of someone down the phone, without even so much as taking the lid off the boiler or looking in the filter. I've asked here and been told it's definitely copper paste for metal expansion, he...
Are you talking about this as a general cure for this kind of thing, or are you talking about this boiler model specifically? It would be really good if I could tell him that he needs to put copper paste between the exact components to fix the problem.
Otherwise I can see myself going...
I wasn't completely happy with how he relayed the fault. He described it as "tapping" to Vaillant, which to my mind is underplaying it because I consider it louder, and it ramps up to proper clanking and clunking where it sounds like someone hitting the boiler from the inside with a small...
No he won't - he'll be doing a water test and then no doubt trying to get someone else to powerflush the system again in a couple of weeks time.
Would have been useful to have known about copper paste before he turned up so I could have at least suggested that to him.
Still he did call...
