i rang Siemens helpline (number was on the valve fitting instructions), spoke to a very helpfull man, he told me its a direct replacement is ok to use the old nuts & olives as long as they are not damaged. The wiring is exactly the same. I fitted it yesterday & all is fine, my CH & HW are...

ok i will & then let you know if it works, thankyou both for your advice :)

no im not.... is that a yes then or fit it & see if its ok??

so is it a direct replacement for the MA-V322c? the MA-V322c has a black plastic lever which moves between ' W M H' & a metal lever which moves between 'manual - open'. the CMV322 only has a metal lever which moves between 'auto - manual'. i dont want to fit the wrong valve :?

thanks for such a quick reply, its the complete valve, i asked the question because i ordered the 'MA-V322C' & the 'CMV322' turned up.the manual lever on the old valve is on the opposite side to the new one so it will be facing the tank. My old valve will not move to the mid position when i...

Is the valve in this picture an updated version of the one below it? thankyou. top pic CMV 322 bottom pic MA-V322C old valve [/img]

Hi, I have a problem with my fridge freezer, the freezer works perfectly but the fridge temperature wont drop below 15 degrees. i have removed the inner back panel of the freezer & checked that it wasnt iced up or the drain blocked. I dont know how the cold air is circulated into the fridge...

Please help, pilot light went out, i followed instructions of holding grey button in for 20 secs then releasing slowly after ignition, it keeps going out. Its an Olympic 38/50B Thorn EMI (old, i know) but i cant afford to renew it yet. If it sound like the thermocouple,how do i renew it &...

see previous post?

thanks for your replies, i took the cap off & switched the room stat until it switched, the gear/cog started turning straight away. What i forgot to say is when it first played up, the black lever was stuck in the middle position when the heating was off. this was when all the rads heated up...

[/img] Hi, sorry about the pic sizes. my rads are getting hot when heating is off but hw is on, from prev topics i think the valve is faulty. It only started playing up after a week of being off whilst on holiday. if only the hw is on, should the red pump run? when the ch comes on with the...

sorry, perhaps i didnt ask the right questions. 1. is there a seal that could be faulty allowing the pilot to be blown out? 2. could the thermocouple be faulty? 3. could the pilot injector be faulty/dirty? 4. do the pilot burners play up/ need replacing? cheers.

Hi, i have a Baxi Solo 50/4RS boiler in my house. Almost every day, if its breezy outside past the flue, the pilot light goes out. Should this be able to happen?

so a combi boiler will be ok with this system?
