I wish it was. At least I would know what is!

Hi, I have a Baxi 105e. Not the instant type. As well as the boiler giving intermittent hot water. It makes a noise like it’s filling with water for a few seconds then the tap being turned off quickly. It does this with the electricity turned off. So it can’t be the boiler doing anything. But...

I think, it's about time I gave up on this problem and called in a bolier specialist. Can anyone recommend one in the Newcastle area?

Sorry for the late reply, I had to work away from home and thank you for all the help. I have add sentenel x400 to clean the C/H. When the C/H is demanded the plunger comes out and the C/H works fine. But when H/W is demanded without the C/H running both the H/W and C/H plungers come out. Is...

Hi, It's a Baxi 105HE It gives hot water straight away. Would the cleaner clean out the heat exchanger or would it need replacing?

After reading around a bit. I was planning to drain the system, add fernox cleaner. Run the system for the time it says. Drain and run it a few times to clean out all cleaner. Then add an inhibitor. As well as sorting the flow switch. Am I on the right track?

Thanks ChrisR. I'll get the manual out and order a flow switch. Are there any recommended products that are best for cleaning the sludge out of the system? Then inhibitors to stop it happening again.

Hi, I have a Baxi 105E, that sounds like it’s running for a few seconds even with no C/H or H/W demand. It does it every 15 minutes or so. It also gives intermittent H/W. It will run for a few minutes, then a minute of cold then back to H/W. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a Baxi 105 e that keeps making a noise, as if it’s running. It seams to run for about 10 seconds then stops every few hours or so. It doesn’t ignite the boiler, but sounds like it’s re-pressurizing or something like that. Also when filling a bath or having a shower, it stops giving H/W...

It worked. I did as you said, refilled and hey presto. It hasn't gone above 1.6. Brilliant. Thank you very much for your help, it is very much appreciated. :D

thanks very much for taking the time to reply. it is much appreciated. No water came out of valve, just air. I bled a radiator near the boiler to get the pressure to zero, but didn't take out 10 ltrs as the instructions say. I will repeat and take 10 ltrs out. Then make sure the vessel is at...

hi, i followed the instructions to test the pressure of the Pessure Vessel. Dropped the pressure to zero and the reading was 5.5 psi. i charged the vessel to 10 psi. refilled to 1.2 and started the C/h up. The pressure increased to 2.5 and rising before i switched off. I tested the pressure...

Thanks hammerswinger, I will check the pressure tomorrow night and follow the guidance given (working away from home). I'll post back the outcome. Thanks.

Hi, Up until a week ago my C/H on my Baxi 105e was stable at 1.3. The boiler hasn’t been touched, but has started to increase the pressure until it vents outside at about 3.2. if I turn the boiler off and switch it on the next day, it takes about ½ hour before venting again. Before I call...

Sorry for the late reply. Called away to work. Thanks for the pointer. I've ordered the part (Part Number 248466, for anyone who has the same problem). I'll post back the results when I've fitted it. Here's hoping!
