    Vaillant ecoMax Pro not firing, no error codes

    So Vaillant will charge me £95 for the call out. We had the boiler serviced by the installers who put it in - not Vaillant direct.

    Vaillant ecoMax Pro not firing, no error codes

    Ok, the Vaillant engineer has just been and gone, and its not (for me at least) good news. The flue collector at the back has developed a crack (which apparently they do with age) and has leaked condensate into the boiler. This has then turned to steam and cooked all the electronics in the...

    Vaillant ecoMax Pro not firing, no error codes

    Alright tiger - keep your hair on. In fairness - i thought you were taking the pi$$ with the above advice. In the end i called out Vaillant for a fixed price repair - once they have diagnosed and (hopefully) fixed it, i will update the thread, as i agree with you - nothing more frustrating than...

    Vaillant ecoMax Pro not firing, no error codes

    Sadly it's older than that. In a further update, we've had our engineer out again and he replaced the option board, but no change. He spoke to Vaillant who had him checking various parts of the boiler. The supply to the option board (green connector) appears to cut out when the pump goes off...

    Vaillant ecoMax Pro not firing, no error codes

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone here can point me (and my heating engineer) in the right direction with this. I have a Vaillant ecoMax Pro 28e boiler installed and for years she has done us proud. Recently however, it's developed an odd fault. Every 3 or 4 days it just refuses to fire, but doesn't...
