I'm no engineer but i do have the same boiler! mine has been trouble free for 7 years but in the last 18 months has had a new diaphram, venturi blockage removed twice and now seems to need an expansion vessel replaced. I think mines probably between 12- 15 years old. I've decided to replace...

vokera man who said 850.00 for new vokera combi has called back (must have read my last post!) quoted 960.00 to supply vokera compact HE boiler, install boiler, change some pipework 15mm to 22mm. I have decided to go and scratch the plastic! here ends my journey! (i hope!) thanks...

the guy who quoted 850.00 for a new vokera hasn't called back - maybe he's busy or looking for where to pinch it from! lol seriously - this is the third person to take a look and then never call back, one of who took my user manual away to look at and never called back, the service I'm...

Do you really think it's a knock off then? or are joking? what does the IMO mean? he asked to look at the gas pipe feeding the gas cooker, just checked it myself, its 15mm I'd say. he said the boiler is fed from the cooker pipe and asked if when the boiler and cooker are on at the same time...

he did say he would have to do something with the pipes, said the pipes have to be made up to 22mm, someone has put 15mm pipes in, he said they should have been 22mm for the the first meter leading from the flowmatic 20 - 80. he said it total more than 850.00 with some extra pipework. he...

wow - thanks for all the knowledge and pointers! what a wise bunch :o it's a split decision, roughly half say repair the flowmatic, half say ditch it and get a new one. I feel alot happier about getting another vokera combi after reading your views. just goes to show - dont always listen to...

I've had someone take another look. He has sort of talked me into a new vokera boiler. he said he can supply and fit the new vokera for around 850.00 which suprised me (all my friends say it will cost 1600.00 for a new combi) the boiler is old, It was already in eight years ago when I moved...

I had someone take a look last week, he got a foot pump out of his van and pumped air into the expansion vessel (think thats what it was, it was right over the top of the boiler system because he was on my foot ladder). he told me to see how I went on with it overnight. the pressure dropped back...

Problem: my vorkera flowmatic 20/80 Rs has started to play up! it has developed two main problems. 1.firstly, the water pressure drops to 0 bar everytime I use the central heating. I have to top it up to 1.5 bar with the water pressure tap under the boiler, which is very annoying eveytime...
