Hi all, Been having a few issues with my Ecomax recently, mainly down to my ignorance on servicing. Anyway the boiler has now been serviced (professionally), and was working fine until recently where it gave up the ghost and displayed F.0 (which I've never had before (previously I was dealing...

Good news, seems to be working, looks like it may have been pressure sensor related but mainly the cabling.. but this has lead me to find what I believe to be a much bigger issue. Looks like the main burner section has a leak on the side near the pressure switch. Some of the bolts were not even...

Could it be the pressure sensor??

Thanks Ian, Replaced both NTC sensors, and for a second or two (literally) the boiler fully fired up and started to heat the hot water, raising it 2-3oc, before then failing again producing F.25 as it did before. Resetting just repeats the original fault, ie I can no longer get the boiler to...

Thanks ianmcd, happy to give that a shot! Am I right in thinking these are the two I’ve pictured here (one of the heat exchanger, the other off the what I guess is the hot water bit?)

Hi all, Have an issue with my Vaillant 824/2E, the boiler no longer ignites so I don't have heating or hot water at the moment. When hot water or heating is demanded, the boiler goes through its ignition cycle, sparts away, and just when you'd expect the gas to be released, it cuts out showing...

Control - switch :)

Hi all, Im looking for some opinions/confirmation of the best way to have my 2 new ovens wired as Ive received a mixture so far from the quotes. The ovens are rated circa 3.5kw each and manufacturers specify a 16A connection. At the moment i have a 32A MCB going to a 45a CCU in 6mm T&E...

Hi all, hope you're doing well. Im thinking of updating/ modernising one of our upstairs bedrooms and turning it into a media room. Now the house was converted about 25 years ago from a bungalow and one thing thats always annoyed me is the way the plasterboard has been put up and I want it...

The thing that concerns me with this is from our old boiler. Let me set the scene: Gravity fed single pipe system in need of a new boiler... Corgi installer installs Vailiant non condensing boiler built for sealed pressurised system, installed after the building regs dictated all boiler...

So what actions would you take if you were in my shoes?

Work was started and finished about a week before christmas. They came back in the new year to see why the system is losing pressure. The shower room was leaking so was disconnected (also disabling the study rad). He promised to come back to replace old pipe theyd used as he couldnt get a...

Right, following my post yesterday explaining a fault I was having on my recently installed new system, it quickly came to my attention that it wasnt just us that thought their piping was below par. So I have taken pictures of most of the visible pipework and I hope that proffessional pipe...

Tell me about it mate, I musta had "MUG" written all over my forehead

Tony do bare in mind that I would consider our house to be fairly sizeable compared to most typical houses and perticularly newer builds. We have 14 rads and pritty generous sized rooms so from an amatures view Im sure this would add abit of cost for extra pipe. But honestly, I think you will...

well this is one of the many things I dont understand! Some of the many places they chose to run pipes I just dont understand! for example, the kitchen rad as posted above. Those pipes come out on show in a bedroom behind, and then goes down underneath the floorboard. Why could they not have...

Gas4u thanks for your response. Iv just had a chat with my father who owns the property and has ultimatly fronted the bill for this and we have decided we are going to sit down with the installer and company director on tuesday (provided he turns up), present him with pictures of all of the...

believe it or not, this was actually taken after we had told him to correct it the first time which was even worse and I mean it looked like a W. As for hight I actually got this wrong, the kitchin rad we havnt replaced so he simply piped to what was there, and most of the radiators (bar the...

Well this is one of the problems, We can get to one end under the floor boards, but wasnt sure how to get to the other end as naturally its welded to the pipe work. Did you mean turn the mains on it through the boiler and disconnect the section I can get to and see if there is a flow comming...

Hi all, We recently spent 3.5k getting our single pipe gravity fed system "converted" to a twin pipe pressured system with combi boiler. 90% of the piping downstairs was replaced, but for some reason they didnt touch the upstaires piping... but they all work fine upstairs so this isnt the...
