Well that is one dodgy boiler sorted out. There was nothing wrong with the Baxi. They just hadnt turned the bloody thing on properly at the timer. I was ragin but also delighted because i means now i only have one shi&e one left to sort out this week. And i servcied another Baxi...

Sorry if this is a stupid question guys but is it the CH flowswith or the DHW flow sitch you are talking about? And im not exactly sure what you mean by the flow restrictor?? And what PCB is the DHW red led on?? Thanks again Sean

Believe you me Dave this is exactly the way i am thinking now. From reading other posts i need to check out the LP switch as well!! Have told the owner to put the pressure up to 1.8 bar overnight to try and reset the switch and i will take it out and clean it when i get to it tommorrow...

rob884, Dont take this the wrong way but im glad someone else is having it all there own way!!!! My people havent had hot water for 5 days now so i suppouse they should count themselves lucky!!!! How you deal with your customers in a situation like this?? Honesty?? G

dmitch071, I checked they were clear when i put it back together the last time. Any idea what the hell is going on with this one?? G

Thanks a million for the advice on the dodgy boilers. I just seem to be having a right week of it and it is just coming into silly season so it hasnt been a very good start. But i will stick with it. What do you do if you genuinely cant fix it or have tried everything and have come to a...

The gas pipe is where it goes through the wall at the front of the house. I.e it has dropped down to ground level ran along and then into the house. From what little i know this has to be sleeved and cemented into place. G

Guys in the words of Cher "If i could turn back time" I wouldnt have went anywhere near them. But as im only starting out im jumping at every chance i get for work!!! What is the rule about charging etc if you fix service one and it starts messing about. Can you re charge them further time...

Just to clarify, If you try DHW only the boiler wont light. When the CH is on and you turn on a hot water tap the DHW comes on as normal and heats the water. Spoke to the guy again this evening and he now tells me that the pressure gauge is fluctuating from 0 to 2 bar and that air was...

Hi again, Is there a donation box for this site as i feel im ripping the as* out of it now!!! Serviced a Baxi barcelona a while back and it hasnt been on since. Told the land lady that the gas pipe going into the house needed to be cemented in and it wasnt legal. In her wisdom she...

If this was the problem then surely the DHW would never come on?? It comes on when the CH is working. And yes not for love nor money will i go near one again. G

Had a prob with Ideal response 120. Would light and when it did the Hot water only stayed hot for 30 secs. Rectifed some loose connection on PCB 41 and cleaned out the gas valve and everything was singing and dancing last night. Just had the customer back on to say the boiler still isnt...

Jesus Tony you are never going to believe this mate, Just had the customer back on to say the boiler still isnt working right. When you turn the heating on it doesnt light first time but will light after about 15 mins. If you turn on the DHW only it will not light at all. The only...

Yeah a litre or so would have been right. So this is to be expected? I was panicking a bit as it was coming out and down in and around electrical bits and pieces. Had a towel down (the owners!!! Bring my own in future!!) and then dried all electrical fittings afterwards with a hairdryer...

Sorry maybe i wasnt totally clear as i reposted this from another post. The DHW was coming on and staying hot for 30 secs and then going cold. So i swapped the DHW sensor with CH sensor which is screwed up into the heat exchanger. Both were reading 10 K Ohms but i swapped them anyway. It...

By the way, In a previous post i said that i fully drained down the boiler and then when i went to pull out the Sensor out of the Heat exchanger i had water pi%^ing everywhere. How is this possible if the boiler was drained down?? Cheers grill

Tony, Just for future reference can you tell me what the three common faults are and i will add it to my vast bank of boiler knowledge??? G

Just everything that i went to do on it was just a nightmare. I nearly reduced me to tears!!! Didnt help i was hungover as sin mind you!!!! G

Hi Tony, I got it sorted eventually. There was something lose on PCB 41. Checked all the fittings and away she went. The reason for the DHW not staying on was a gas valve full of copper sulphide. I am growing to hate that stuff as time goes by. Would i be right in saying that IDEAL...

Hi Tony, She is going right through the sequence and trying to light but doesnt. G
