    New expansion vessel needed?

    Hi John. The EV is this one at 10 Litre. https://www.unventedcomponentseurope.com/vaillant-ecotec-expansion-vessel-181051-all-models.html/ Bolier flow temp is 70C. Thanks.

    New expansion vessel needed?

    1bar - Ill drop it to that. Currently set to 1.5 cold and rises to 2.3 with all the heating on. It was running higher than that before I got the water out the air side of the EV so that has helped. Not sure if that amount of rise is acceptable? EV was pumped to 1 bar when everything was drained...

    New expansion vessel needed?

    Thanks Terry and Iddy. Single story house with bolier on ground floor, 12 rads most of which are column style and UFH in kitchen area about 5mx5m. Im pretty sure EV is not blocked as when I pumped it with drain open you could clearly see it making water come out of the drain a little more. BUT I...

    New expansion vessel needed?

    Thanks Ian. I did it last night. I drained down everything (including the water in the PV valvle) then pumped up the PV to 1 bar whilst the drain on the boiler was still open. The PV seemed to hold pressure for the 5 mins I left it so it may be OK. I refilled the boiler and ran the P0 programme...

    New expansion vessel needed?

    I’ve read it might be condensate that’s collected so I’ll make sure everything is drained out and do as you suggested.

    New expansion vessel needed?

    Hi all. My Vaillant Ecoplus 360 seems to be having issues. When cold the pressure is bang on mid range but seems to run high when the heating is on. See pics. When I prod the valve on the expansion vessel water squirts out so I think its jiggered and needs replacing. Just checking I havent...

    Is my multizone S plan wiring correct for UFH please?

    Thanks for the reply. So I just want to check the there is no scenario when the room thermostat will be at for example 17C demanding heat on a cold winter morning and the UFH heating water will have been running for 45 mins and will have reached for example 40C so the UFH TRV will have stopped...

    Is my multizone S plan wiring correct for UFH please?

    I'm currently looking at modifying the install of an S plan with CH Zone, HW Zone and single UFH zone off a vaillant combi. The wiring diagram is attached, mine are the wonky lines! The UFH diagram is partially complete but the missing wires are hopefully obvious. I have read that the UFH...

    Basic Fibre BB questions please.

    Not as far as I know but it is 5 bed so I can understand why it may have a lot of lines run off it if thats what your thinking. For the life of me the other 2 outlets have vanished.. unless they are just 'tied off' in the back of the other sockets.

    Basic Fibre BB questions please.

    Thanks. That socket definitely runs back to the distribution box but if its not suitable then I guess they will need to do some work as you suggested. Awesome.. the socket is behind a fixed cupboard unit and the distribution box is in behind a tumble dryer in the opposite corner of the house to...

    Basic Fibre BB questions please.

    Im looking to get off Virgin onto Fibre (Fibre to Cabinet) but before I do I need to figure out some internal socket stuff. I have only used Virgin for phone and BB since we moved in 5 years ago so I have no idea on the state of the BT line. It comes into the house (10 core cable) into the big...

    Door window removal..mission impossible?

    Mmm..The tape has self destructed. That's what I thought but thought it was a bit of a rubbish design. Ho Hum. Thanks for the reply anyway!

    Door window removal..mission impossible?

    We want to replace the bullseye unit on our upvc door but I can't find a way with all angles seemingly sealed shut.. see pics. I'm sure there are a few Ethan Hunts out there so any help welcome. ThanksIMG_2616 by scotster posted 7 Sep 2020 at 2:38 PMIMG_2615 by scotster posted 7 Sep 2020 at...
