Afternoon guy's. Before i contact anyone to come round & fix the problem, I would like to run it past you guys. Got a vaillant ecoTEC plus 831(in loft). It's about 13 years old. Lost pressure on Sunday i refilled it but overnight it done it again & this time i noticed water had come out of the copper pipe at the side of the house.
After googling problem, I checked expansion vessel & water came out. This i have read means it needs replacing. Also read after PRV operates, it might not work properly again. Would i be wise to have that replaced at the same time?
Does it sound like the issue or could it be anything else?
Another thing i noticed today when I had to refill it. I got my wife to run hot tap in kitchen & the pressure gauge on boiler jumped from about 11 o'clock position (grey) to 2 o'clock position (red) Not noticed this happening before, could i have more problems.
Sorry for rambling on a bit. Regards Doug
