Concerns about heatline vizo 24 manual boiler

[tryme]

hello

Anyone familiar with these boilers?

Just moved into a new property put the heating on and it all seems to be working however some lights are displaying on the face on the boiler.

They aren't flashing so I do not know if this is a fault or not.

The following lights have stayed on for 10+ mins after the heating or hot water has been used.

We have red light on the boiler on/off
Red light on CH sensor
Red light on DHW sensor
Red light on outdoor sensor
Red light on bar

Please advise as very worried due to issues with previous landlord on previous boiler

They're also temperature indicators

So its all ok?

 

[Dan Robinson]

Probably.

But then it is a Heatline .

Ok dont scare me

Ok dont scare me

At least it's working

Dont worry your boiler is fine it is just telling you what temp the primary water is at, they will flash if indicating a fault code

Thank you much appreciated

i noticed that when i run a bath the water doesnt get as hot as the kitchen tap or the bathroom sink. i asked my landlord about this and he said that with this combi boiler and all combi boilers this size its better to not open the tap fully and take a little while longer to fill the bath.

is this true?

I would hope that those of us who repair boilers are familiar with that model!

Its a cheap to buy boiler very popular with budget minded landlords!

Oddly perhaps but they usually have a Vaillant at their own home!

lol well thats landlords for you!

please see my previous question i would really like some support on it.
I think the LL is saying the water needs to heat up faster than we are emptying it (the boiler), so don't run the taps too fast.

another question, what does the "e" mean on the radiator temperature dial?

thank you

Ok and what does it do?

It is the highest temperature at which the boler is reasonably efficient.

Here is the manual
Follow the pipe down from the yellow [gas] valve. You see where it reduces from 22mm to 15mm about 4" below the elbow? How far does this 15mm pipe continue ?
If it's more than a metre then it could be part of the story why you seem to be having problems with the hot water.
I'm not discrediting what you have been told about slowing down the flow because that is quite often the case where the flow rate is beyond the capacity of the boiler.
