Are you saying that this is an electric cooker connected via a 3 pin plug, plugged into an extension lead? Have I missed something here? If I have read this right its no wonder you are having problems!!! The extension lead will probably have a thermal overload protection which will...

Just seen someone selling a control PCB and an ignition PCB on ebay for £50 for the two. They also list the part numbers. The item number is 5726076512 but has only got a little time to go. The seller says they are new parts and may be a bargain for someone in need. PS I have no connection...

Ollski Yes Im about 5-6 miles from Kingswinford. Can I email you my mobile number to arrange? Im not sure about the postings/contacts proceedure in giving out such info within the forum. Cheers

Ollski Im in south staffs near to Wolverhampton.

Uncleben Just read your post regarding the possibility of a grant of 300 pounds for a new Vaillant. How do you get this? If you are talking about the council, forget it unless you get benefits.

Tim The Vaillant I have bought is an ECOMAX PRO. And yes it is a condensing boiler for use with a conventional open or sealed system. It fires instantly and "ramps" up to demand temperature set by yourself and at full chat is no more than a purr. In fact its like a Rolls Royce compared to the...

Yessssssssssssss... After months of struggle with the latest repeated lockouts I am now the proud owner of a new expensive Vaillant. Whereas before there was chaos now there is calm. Friday afternoons stripdown resulted in a fit of anger when it wouldn't start (again) so I calmly removed the...

I am NOT suggesting the stripdown off the gas valve in my previous post as mentioned by a subsiquent contributor. I merely REMOVED the valve for access to the case pressure tube which was full of water. This is an entirely different thing. Sorry if I gave this impression. :cry: Anyway it...

Bill The plastic venturi is the cone shaped inlet to the fan. The gas pipe from the valve enters the top. My boiler made an incredible trumpeting sound from the vent, on startup, until this part was changed. Cheers.

Just a quick tuppence on the howling noticed by some people. It was only when the plastic venturi on the fan was replaced on my boiler that the howling stopped. Come to think of it, it was different to the old one which would suggest that Baxi have modified them in response to this problem.

After my latest problem with this boiler I've had some success which may be of assistance to some of you suffering barcelona owners. My lockout light was on continuously which according to the installation manual suggested an ignition fault. It recommends that you check for a blockage in the...

I have just stumbled upon this site after a search on google. I am stunned to see that I am not the only one who has this barcelona problem. Reading through the posts is like reading a case history of my boiler. 1. works great for 3 years. 2. Starts behaving like a jet on take off. 3. Struggles...
