I have a vailant boiler 242E , its broken down 3+ times under warranty.
The boiler is less than 2 years old
Heres the story
Had new boiler installed, Corgi Man did not flush the system. 6 months later System broke down. Called Vailant - said system needed flushing
Had system flushed - Boiler stared working , 8 months later Boiler stopped working, called vailant - said system needed flushing - got plumber to change all the radiators & pipes. system worked for approx 4 months. Called Vailant had engineed , said system was blocked. Fixed it or so he said. Not that I noticed. Still did not work.
Called Vaillant again - Engineer came and went, I have hot water but no central heating (So much for the guarantee) . Called someone else this who says boiler has a TANK at the back which is full of MUD and the only solution is to replace the boiler as it will keep breaking down. At present Central Heating works But 2 radiators are cold (No thanks to Vaillant).
Q. Is there a Tank in a Vailant Combi boiler that could be filled with mud or is this bullshit.
Q. Because of the sludge in the system could the pump be faulty.
Q. If all the radiators have been bled and they dont have thermostatic valves - what else could be wrong.
I could buy another boiler and still be at square one.
