    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Sorted! I have hot and cold water. For anyone else in the same boat the link above to the part is correct, but there is a sub-assembly (which I needed replacing). It cost more than those online, but I was able to get it from a shop same day...

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Fairly sure that will be the problem... took that part out and the case has disintegrated and the spring was just loose! Unfortunately I don't think any local shops sell the part so amazon it is!

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Appreciate the comments, I will have a look at the Venturi tonight. Unfortunately the kit I got didn’t include and service parts for it so hopefully I can clean it and have it working tonight! I sometimes wonder if it might be time to get a new boiler…

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Popping this to the top. I followed suggestions and changed those components. It seemed to help but actually only one tap in the house was able to make the pin come out enough to press the switch and start the heating. However the plus side it did go in enough to start the heating. For now I...

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Thanks for all the information, bought that kit and will fit that! Hoping it’s as simple as that as I hate having to go further back on the diverted valve. These things don’t seem built for easy servicing! (Likely not helped by its location in the room!)

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    Back 105 HE Correct Valve Pins

    I’m having issues with my central heating on a Baxi 105 HE. The HW works fine, the CH calls for water but the water doesn’t leave the system. I expect it’s just circulating around the HW loop. My question though, is in proper operation what should the pin valves do. We have two that can be...

    Radiators only heating up while boiler fills tank

    So I checked, although it is really far in the back I know the make is Drayton MA1, anyway I can confirm it is the issue?

    Radiators only heating up while boiler fills tank

    The house I am living has a boiler (Potterton Gold H), controller (Lifestyle Model LP112), and a thermostat (Honeywell). Using the controller I turn on both the CH and HW, I find that the radiators only heat up while the boiler is on and filling the HW tank, after the boiler turns off the...
