Hi all, thank you in advance if you can help. Getting very frustrated now!
Combi Vokera Linea 28; aroun 7yrs old
Lost heating last week so my wife and son have been pretty cold.
The boiler used to cut out due to lack of pressure. Error code 2 was the usual issue. So, we were repressurising a lot.
Since then it got better but now has given up the ghost. Boiler temp has gone right up when turning on heating. Boiler on but all rads cold. No error messages and boiler stays on but wont fire up, even if room thermostat is up high.
IF we then turn on hot tap, the boiler fires up and heating works too. So, sometimes we have run a bath slowly just to get the heating working. crazy and not very 'green'. Turn the hot water off and the heating either goes off immediately or within 30mins or so on a good day but temperature on boiler goes up to around 80 again.
Hope I have explianed that ok. I just dont want to pay for things that dont need doing such as a power flush or new boiler as really cant afford that at the moment.
Driving me mad, had central heating cover but they will not help as we havent had annual service because they didnt bother reminding us that we needed one. So, we engaged the plumber they would have sent. Has replaced diverted rebuild kit and actuator at cost of over £200. Problem remains.
He said system needs a power flush.
Any ideas guys.
Thanks again - really appreciate forums such as this.
