Yeah, I already tried that hand on the joints test, although not on the joint right at the boiler :shock: As for the combustion chamber, I never opened it myself and don't plan on it! I did turn all the maximum temps down on the control panel last night, and that seemed to quite things down a...

Hi all, sorry, I never got notified of any replies, was surprised to see so many. To paraphrase a famous someone in Bush's cabinet, "I know what I know, and I know what I don't know." I know I know nothing about checking the innards of a boiler, and also that it IS required by French law...

Yes, they surprisingly are! Going into any DIY store here is all the proof you'll need :wink: So back on topic: could an increase in slope cause that sound? Or could it be from sawdust being blown down either tube?

Hi Tony, sorry, I should've mentioned I'm not in the UK, I'm in France. Anyone can do an install, as long it's checked by Qualigaz, the French organization in charge of signing off on gas related connections.

OT, yes I know, but here you go, all you Engrish fans! Thanks for those links, unfortunately all i could find there were the brochures, and not the "user guides" for the Vitotrol and Vitotronic. Was able to install the condensing boiler, had "qualigaz" (maybe like CORGI?) come and check it...

Hello folks, new here, plus I'm an american living in france, so PLEASE have mercy! Just wanted to say that I got a Vitodens 200 WB2A (balanced flue) direct from a wholesaler in France. Don't know if it works that way in the UK..... but all the manuals are in french. Will take your advice and...
