    Vaillant EcoTec 831 pressure issue

    Hi folks I've researched a fair old bit and followed some advice from other posts and have some findings - not 100% sure what the findings mean though so just looking for a steer before I get a professional on the job. We have a Vaillant EcoTec 831 combi, 6.5yrs old. Serviced every year...
