Hi all,
We have just moved into a new house and inherited the boiler. It's a quite old Saunier Duval, I cannot find anything about it's model or anything, and I have done enough research before posting this to know that the brand is a bit of a dog by all accounts.
I am a bit DIY shy, but I *think* it is a combi boiler, as there is no hot water tank and it looks like it. I have taken a couple of photos below (click on thumbnails for full size images). I has a winter/summer switch that you cannot see very well.
My problem is that the pressure is just over 0.1 bar and I cannot find any valves etc to pressuring. The hot water comes out as a burst (1-2 secs) of hot hot water then goes luke warm very quickly and the boiler doesn't seem to fire when I turn the hot tap on. The temperature gauge is presumably a water temp one not a room temp one. Heating the radiators happens eventually but the system seems to fire every now and then until the flat is warm!
Some help would be very much appreciated!!
Best regards,
Dan
