    Vaillant VCW 221 H no CH. DHW fine

    http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=251090#251090 don't worry if a little water comes out of the schrader valve as it is located at the bottom of the expansion vessel & may just be due to condensation.

    Vaillant VCW 221 H no CH. DHW fine

    i agree. but i am talking pretty much infallible. nothing else i can think of can compare. i recall going on the vaillant course when the second generation turbomax came out & they said the new diverter was bullet proof. bo**ocx.

    Slight leak on radiator

    what on earth has it got to do with the dog. i detest using the gas stuff on anything. ordinary ptfe is made for the water job. gas jc is the only stuff for small bore gas. gas ptfe is ok for making up grommets, o rings, stuffing glands etc.

    vaillant boiler - problem with heating

    see all those tiny little tubes. there is probably some muck stuck in them. they should be checked/cleaned. also so should the servo valve (black & white plastic bit with four tubes entering it) & the pressure differential valve (black plastic bit with two tubes entering it) while you're at it...
