    Vaillant Ecotec 824 Plus with new Nest thermostat

    Thank you all for the time and help, The engineer changed the divertor valve as the plastic on it had broken. They also relieved the excessively high pressure of 3.5 bar. For reference the pressure currently reads 2.3 bar, the heaters were on for a bit though, they are now off for the last...

    So after a bit more research I reckon the guy will tell me it’s the diverter valve. From my little understanding, and having done a bit of research plus your guidance; The pump is ruled out from fault since it’s a combi and I have hot water. I am then assuming, it’s not a sensor; since the hot...

    Vaillant Ecotec 824 Plus with new Nest thermostat

    Interesting Picasso, I only assumed this because the test menu had an internal/external/circulation pump. Having turned on the heating and pressing the i button the boiler began making usual noises doing its thing, it heated up to 65c as I’ve recently set and continued to climb to 70c where it...

    The turn dial for the heating is supposed to be left on unless we want to switch to manual mode from the nest and use the static timer on the front of the machine... Pretty sure all signs point to the damn pump! ;( Appreciate all the responses!

    Yep the timer is still in place at the front of the boiler, there is hot water just no heating. It seems the boiler ignites and tries to heat water for circulation but cuts off with the timer when the flow temperature exceeds what’s set, think I saw it go 5 degrees higher than what it’s set at...

    The target flow rate is 70c... after googling around I found a hidden menu, ran electrical tests, successfully, decided to check the “External pump” on T.06 which makes the relay sound but doesn’t sound like it’s pumping anything so I assume the pump is knackered. I might be wrong, but that’s...

    Vaillant Ecotec 824 Plus with new Nest thermostat

    I’ve recently had a nest 3rd gen thermostat installed into this boiler, seemed nifty at the time however, this replaced no previous thermostat (we used to manually switch it on and off and there’s a panel at the front with a analog timer). So the nest 3rd gen replaced this. It’s been a few...
