Hi
I have a Vaillant boiler (combi) that has developed a slight leak. The boiler is about 4 years old and I live in a hard water area.
The leak is from a black coloured plastic unit that is mounted to the top and rear of the pump. The unit has a brass cap with a about 40mm diameter. on the cap is a small 'breather' that looks a bit like a dust cap from a car wheel/tyre. The leak is from this 'breather'.
As you can tell by now I'm no boiler man but I thought that if someone could identify this component a little bit more professionally then at least I could describe the problem to a fitter in the hope that I can get someone round to sort it.
I'm more of an old car guy if anything, but if it's something I could tackle myself that would be great too.
You guys all know how difficult it is to find a boiler engineer.
Cheers Mark
