Hello,
I'm new to DIYnot!
I'm about to talk to my local heating engineer about boiler replacement.
My current boiler is Vaillant 615. It needs replacing as it doesn't have enough capacity for the extra radiators about to be fitted.
However, the 615 is 5 years old and water drained from the system smells of 'hot rubber'. There are bits of what seems to be rubber in the water.
I'm after opinions/knowledge of whether the Ecotec 618 is likely to suffer from the same issue - i.e. 5 years on is this a solved problem, or are the internals of the 618 different from the 615?
If the 618 is doubtful any alternative suggestions?
Thanks,
hicbibi
