What Vaillant boiler do i have?

flynntom · 12 Mar 2010

Hi.
Just moved to our new home today and the heating and hot water are not working. Pressure is just under 2, the green light is on for power but of the three lights under the display, Red green and amber the green flashes??? The boiler seems to fire up and the temp gauge goes up to 11 degrees and then goes off. I have enclosed a picture (blurry) because despite searching i cannot find any names or serial numbers any where!!!! I have paid nearly 1400 pounds out today alone and would love to know if there is a manual some were online i could download as i don't know how to work the controls or something I'm missing before i spend 100's on a plumber.

Many thanks.

cant see the picture but you have a vaillant vcw cant get any more specific until i see a picture

vcw are vaillants earlier boilers from the early 90sish times which has a very unique way of operating, this boiler is fully hydrolic

Hi.

My boiler controls look really different to the manual one? Their is a manuel timer on mine.

thats because the timer is an add on feature i must admit the timer feature on these boiler is not very clear

page 3 of the manual explains the the controls of the timer feature
