Yes I think my system doesn't use an ebus. Room thermostat will adjust the room temp', while the HW Tank thermo' regulates that temp'. Excuse my basic knowledge. So it is recommended the boiler control should be 65C while the HW tank should be set at 60C. Photo of my controls. Advice?

Q. I have a 9 year old Vaillant Eco Tec Plus 418 which heats bot the hot water and CH. The HW tank has its own thermostat set to 55C. There is also one downstairs room temp' thermostat in my hall. What is the ideal Temperature setting on the Boiler for my CH.?? I have 9 Rads. Thanks.

Many thanks.

I have a Vaillant ECOTEC Plus 418 bolier that operates both my CH and HW in an open vent system. There are two dials on the boiler: one for HW (with a HW tank) and one for CH. Only the CH dial runs and operates BOTH, whilst the HW dial is switched off for reasons of something else not fitted or...

Yes thanks for that, but so far the Magnaclean combined with Sentinel x400 is doing a great job. I shall leave the latter in the system for about 2 weeks (4 weeks is the max') and clean the filter till its permanently clean and save the expense. At least my Vaillant bolier ecotec 418 plus is...

The only problem with a powerflush is the chemicals will find any weak spot in your rads and they could start to leak especially if they are old, as mine are.

The Magnaclean is now a permanent solution over time. Don't agree with powerflushes on an old system like mine and way too expensive anyway. Thanks for your reply.

Have had a "magnaclean filter/cleaner fitted and wow the difference. The gunk that was and still is in my system is amazing. Ongoing solution with an open vent system is most definitely the magnaclean cleaner.

Thank you for your replies. The boiler does fire up but then it bangs (loud banging) as if something is loose inside, a bit like a washing machine that is overloaded and tries to spin but cant very well. No "CODE" is displayed either. Have called the engineer and I meant he is gas-safe not...

I have a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 418 wall mounted boiler that is 4 years old on an open vent system with hot water tank and CH. This replaced an old Potterton Netaheat Boiler. A cleaning filter is not fitted although I understand that they are now compulsory as standard. Had to switch off the...

I have an open vent CH and hot water system with hot water tank, using a wall mounted Vaillant boiler. My question is: why do two/three of my upstairs bedroom rads only become lukewarm/stay cold when both the heating and water are on, and yet when the hot water is switched to off at the...

yes I do have a room thermostat for the CH but the boiler itself has two manual circular controls: one for the heating with a RAD symbol, and the other as a HW symbol control, the latter of which is in the OFF position and has never been switched ON. However, the HW is still heated via the gas...

I have a Vaillant ECO Tech Plus 418 for my CH and HW and would like to know if the boiler setting should be set at maximum for CH or not, and if not which setting should I use on the boiler itself? Many thanks.

This auto front-loading washing machine does not siphon off the fabric softener from the dispenser now, although it used to. Have cleaned the tray as far as able. Any possible solutions please.? Thank you

Download speeds have now reversed almost exactly. Laptop is now 2Mbps where Desktop is 19 to 20 Mbps. Shouldn't they both be the same?

Does the PC actually have 2 ethernet ports? NOT SURE. Set the slider to match you expected speed and then check the Optimal Settings radio button. Click apply and then restart. Again, i've never seen much of an improvement myself. THE TCP/OPTIMIZER WORKED BRILLIANTLY ON MY DESKTOP WHICH...

Thank you Igorian, In Device Manager the sub-heading of Network-Adaptors has two sub-headings and both state the same thing....... NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet #3 and.... NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet #4. Under the Advanced Tab................. In both the...

Thank you Igorian, I have tried as you suggested and tried using a speedtest in safe mode/networking and got the same result. Desktop result: Ping 11ms Download 3.39Mbs Laptop is: Ping 5ms Download is 17.89Mbs Any further solutions to this problem.?

Thank you. The Mac laptiop downloads at more than 18Mb when directly connected to the Modem/router and at the same time of day regardless, but the desktop only downloads at 3.00Mb at the same time of day. I have used a number of speedtest sites on both computers and this only verifies what I...

I have a desktop computer and a Mac laptop. Desktop is Windows XP. I receive Virgin Broadband 20Mb their TV and Telephone services. The modem is also a wireless router and has been set up to the Laptop and works fine. The Desktop is connected to the modem via an ethernet cable but only...
