Well i went into my local B & Q at the weekend and I was confronted by a young boy handing out leaflets with a Solar panel and a windturbine. Now i find that quite scary. These are very specialized products and if incorrectly installed can be very dangerous. Fair enough they will not sell you a...

yeah i have replaced both flow switches on other bahamas before but i reccommended it to the customer that Baxi reccommend you change both but they are £20 a crack but tyhen again Baxi would :roll: . So she said well just swap the 1 if thats all it needs. So if need be (which i don't think i do...

This is one of the reason why they designed the vacuum tube collectors as they have more tolerance with the angle and trajectory.

Are you not getting mixed up with the Baxi Genesis with the gas valve sticking. This one doesn't have 3 solenoids. It looks like the pump or blockage then by the sounds of it.

yeah Glycol is your one.

i know rougly how these flow switches work but thumping the boiler won't make it work i am sure about his. when the fault occurs i have to maually press the reset switch. This is the only way it will start to work again. I unplugged the lead (broke resistance) from the flow switch whilst the...

ok if i get called back to it i shall remove the flow switch for peace of mind. All i have done regarding the primary flow swtich is test the continuity and when the pump runs the switch makes. So the switch looks to be working fine. according to the Sequence of operation in the manual if the...

I took a sample of the Ch water and i could not belive how clear it was. So i'm ruling out sludge being the problem.

I did wonder if the pump was lazy but i thought well the primary flow switch would drop out if that was the case. Have you had this problem with one before DIA

i have but it doesn't help. they are only any use if the boiler is totally broken down and with it firing up and running ok then every now and agin it will go to lock out. No answer in the book im afriad.

sounds like it might just be bleeding the air out of the CH system. That fault means no pressure rise when the pump was activated. So probably just air in the system.

it is about right that price to be honest. just make sure he chemically flushes the system at least otherwise when your Baxi breaks down Mr Baxi will walk of the job if it hasn't been cleaned properly and will refuse to warrant it. :wink:

well maybe but i can hear the boiler starting to kettle then it goes onto low flame but im sure it shouldn't start to kettle (hiss like a kettle) at all. It is only everynow and again it goes to lockout. i might be barking up the wrong tree with it overheating thats why im asking on hear. Like...

i went to repair one yesterday and today. i have currently replaced the DHW flow switch as it was definitely faulty and now it is working fine in that area. But I have now discovered that every now and again the boiler will go to lockout (flame failure lights up). I suspect it is overheating and...

it is a very old tale that condensing boilers don't last as long as standard boilers. This is total nonsese. Maybe comparing the first condensing boilers to the old conventional cast iron boiler maybe as they used to last 20 years plus. But nowadays you are looking at approx 10 years+ out of a...

I'd have to disagree on the electronics side. Vaillant make there own PCB's and are very realiable. As Worcester buy theres in from the likes of Honeywell etc like most other manufactures and are only as realiable as other manufactures on PCB'S.

Alpha boiler are a good reliable boiler compared to lots on the market. They are not the cheapest or the dearest. The CD32C usually come with a 3 year warranty and it can be extended at the point of purchase to a 5 year for an extra cost of course. 1 thing with Alpha boilers they have a really...

i'd say approx £70 +vat for labour and what ever parts should cover most combi boiler faults.

i think the last time i did one od those i had to heat the nut up red hot then it undid. I think if someone else has had a go before with a pair of grips it can make the nut go oval shaped. They are a real pain to get to tho. Good luck.

i have just changed the glycol in mine as Viessmann reccommend every 2 years it should be changed.
