I have a 3 year old Bosch washing machine that uses I-DOS to dispense liquid detergent and conditioner. In December it stopped dispensing conditioner despite me cleaning out the draw and twin pumps. Bosch service said the conditioner pump was weak and changed it. In January the conditioner...

The filling loop was and is disconnected. I have silenced the radiator by adjusting the lock shield and then putting it back to where it was. This leaves me with the unanswered questions 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 6/.

This is a 20 second YouTube video of the noisy rad. When I bled it next to no air came out just water..

Yes the HW has been used daily including for showers and yes the pressure increases as soon as the CH is turned on so at least this is normal behaviour.

So it is now 5 days later. The pressure gauge increased by 0.1bar, which might be the natural tolerance of the gauge. I then turned the two valves on at the bottom of the boiler to reconnect the CH flow and return. The gauge didn't flinch. This was after having to drain 1.4 litres from a...

The installer of the Worcester installed a Straight Braided Filling Loop with 2 valves that sat just above the old boiler. This was stripped out when the new boiler was installed as the new boiler was re piped...

Pre heat is switched off and there is no other filling loop, as the Bosch had a filling loop above the boiler that was removed when the boiler was replaced. What I am struggling to get my head around is why did I have the same issue last year after the first service that eventually cured itself...

I have removed 1.4 litres of water to get the boiler down to 1 bar again and have isolated the CH by turning the valve off allowing me to keep the hot water on. I will now play the waiting game and will report back if the pressure changes in the coming days.

If I reduced the pressure on the central heating back to 1 bar by bleeding a radiator and then isolating the CH by turning off the CH boiler valves from underneath the boiler, would this not highlight any fault quicker as the built in gauge would only be monitoring a build up in pressure of the...

EV is 10 litres

Note that the heating hasn’t been on since a 30 minute run 3 weeks ago. One leg of the filling loop is disconnected and is just hanging. The system hasn’t been topped up since the first service, as I forgot to mention to the engineer that I kept the system at 1 bar due to a previous leak in...

In 2009 I posted this thread about my Worcester Bosch boiler, that was 9 months old and was increasing pressure with the filling loop disconnected. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/pressure-increasing-on-a-worcester-combi-boiler.166884/ Opinions ranged from internal holes, corrosion between...

The system was originally dosed with two bottles of X100, which is why I use it. The system hasn’t been topped up with any water in the last 12 months as the pressure has been maintained. All very strange why I have had to add another two bottles after testing against the colour chart on the...

So I have an Ideal Vogue boiler installed in 2022 by an Ideal accredited installer giving the boiler a 12 year warranty if serviced yearly by an accredited installer. I have noticed on the first 2 services that as part of BS 7593:2019, an annual on-site water test is required to check inhibitor...

Kitchen cupboards have been in place a good 10 years with the walls repainted with a mat emulsion a couple of times over the years. I am noticing what looks like a damp wall next to the cupboard but the wall is a stud internal wall with no pipes or radiators on either side of the wall. The...

The question is based around does the gas, the compressor or both contribute to the demisting of the windscreen? I don’t want to pay for regassing if the compressor, which is covered by an exstended warranty is faulty. As part of a compressor repair the gas would then be covered by the warranty.

I have the car booked in for the air conditioning to be regassed, as the car is no longer cooling but would this also affect the lack of demisting of the windscreen today in the rain? I was wondering if demisting is solely the function of the AC compressor so maybe that has failed?

If you are renting a flat isn’t this the responsibility of the landlord?

No never, all pipework runs up from the ground floor and down from the first floor so I assume it is located between floors.

I live in a 1990 built dob and dab 4 bedroom smallish detached house with a 32kW Ideal Vogue fitted in August 2022. The CH temp is set for 50C to boost boiler efficiency and runs through 10mm microbore pipework downstairs with standard pipework upstarted. Rather than using weather compensation...
