I have a Vaillant Compact 282(E) Combi. It has given us good service over the years but has had it's moments!
I pay monthly for a maintenance contract which only covers boiler breakdowns. The engineers came today because I had no central heating, hot water was ok.
According to the wife (I was at work) they found some sort of leak and spent a long time looking through their van for a little washer to fix it. They complained that it was so old that they were struggling to fix it.
Not sure what the leak was but there wasn't any dripping water.
Anyhow they are back tomorrow with a new part.
My wife was then told that in March this boiler was obsolete and they wouldn't be allowed to fix it.
If that is true then I guess I stop paying the contract.
My question is, will the model really be obsolete, ie no parts available?
I am quite happy to mention the company but not sure if it's allowed on here. But they were Vaillant engineers.
