thanks Agile. I was going to order just the powerhead but it was only marginally cheaper (£28) than the whole valve assembly (£35) so I got the whole valve. G

thanks for the reassurance. I have been told that you can get a wind back tool for about £20 so i may invest in one. I'm sure it will come in handy as I have not only to look after my wife's TT but also the cars that both of my daughters have. cheers G

The system was installed into a new house 7 years ago. It is fair to say that there were several problems with it in the first 2 years and we had a sucession of Heatrae Sadia appointed guys trying to sort it out. The last one changes the PCB and the 3 port valve. They all had a go at doing...

thanks for the reply. It is the quattro version so it may be a bit harder. cheers G

If anyone is still looking; I have established that if I turn off the hot water command at the programmer, then latch the 2 port valve onto the 'manual/open' position and then ask for hot water via the programmer the boiler starts up and continues to run, heating up the water. If I...

Sorry for not getting back on this one - took the opportunity to get in that bath I ran. Checked the valve and am getting 33.7v at the microswitch terminals on t5hat valve. Boiler ignites for a few seconds, thinks that temp is up to 70 degrees and shuts down. Result - no hot water at the...

Thanks Found it and checked - it had not tripped. back to square one! NB: in my earlier post I stated that the pipe above the 2 port valve was hot and the one below was cold. When I latched the 2 port valve the pipe below it became hot and the water from the hot taps was also hot. Can...

Thanks. where is the 'overheat' reset? NB: I put the 2 port valve into the manual position and latched it. I then ran the boiler for about 15 mins and then (bizarely) hot water came out of the hot taps (so I ran a bath for my wife). I have put the valve back to 'automatic' and set the...

I will check the pump. What would be the effect of placing the 2 port valve into the Manual position? NB: is it actually possible that the water in the megaflo tank is hot but that the water which is supplied to the hot water taps is cold (e.g. the water to the taps is bypassing the water...

is there an easy way to check? I have a mutimeter so can check the electrical supply. thanks G

While trying to see what the problem is I have moved the 2 port valve lever to check it moves freely, which it does. Whem moved to the 'open' position (by hand) and released it moves back to the 'auto' position. At the moment neither of the valves move when the programmer calls fro heat from...

Hi I've been told by an Audi delaer that the brake discs on my TT need to be changed because they are nearing the wear limit (its done 77,000 miles). They have quoted £650 to do all 4 wheels but I could get the parts for about £150. Does anyone have any experience of doing the job...

Just checked the valve positions and whether the radiators get hot. The 2 port valve is in the 'auto' position and the 3 port valve is in the A position. The boiler did the sam again, quickly showing a temp of 70 is reached then shutting down. I will follow up any other suggestions or...

Hi Guys. thanks for the quick replies. There are 2 valves fitted to the magaflo. The 3 port valve is at the bottom and there is a valve above it that has a spring return that can be latched open. When the hot water tap is turned on the 3 por valve moves to the fill/vent position and...

Hi everybody. This is my first post on this forum and I have a problem that I would like advice on; ysterday we noted that we had no hot water. The boiler starts up when the 'hot water' programme runs but the boiler temperature indicator quickly (15 secs) rises to 70 degrees and the burner...
