    Vaillant VR66 wiring control centre causing heating modulation woes?

    Maybe it cant scale back much further, manual seems to indicate a range of 9–24

    Pros & Cons of Vaillant VRC700 controller

    Maybe for new features in future or better compatibility with something but even they do not know. I always wondered why the VR66 did not support WC on multi-zone, maybe they add ability for this, not sure who knows, that does not bother me as im monozone anyway.

    Vaillant VR66 wiring control centre causing heating modulation woes?

    Anti-cycling seems to indicate that the flow temp is going over the max set then it shuts down as it can not modulate down quick enough as there is always a delay between modulation and the flow NTC temp it senses. You could lower the D00 setting, ive had to do this on my system to stop it...

    Pros & Cons of Vaillant VRC700 controller

    Just for info, ive checked with Vaillant, they say the sensoCOMFORT VR720f is compatible with original VR66 as well but only as monozone, they checked with tech. They are not sure themselves at the current time how the enduser can tell the difference or what realworld differences there are...

    Audi A3 Stop / Start not working

    http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Battery_Replacement This is a page I found where someone seems to have decoded how to work out the BEM code, not sure if it works for you. https://www.mytiguan.com/index.php?/topic/51006-how-to-code-new-battery-not-from-dealers/

    My issue with thermo rad valves

    Balance the system. For now close all the lockshields on radiators and open them up half a turn and see how they all warm up. They should all work but you will still need to fully balance the system to get best effect. Normally the rads closer to the boiler (in pipe run, not linr of sight) will...

    Vaillant ecofit pure keeps erroring

    Yes that is the ABV, there are various different types. What setting in the Alpha set on? I think that boiler should be on a constant speed to maintain flow rate though the boiler, if not it may overheat and trip out. The whole point of the ABV is to maintain boiler having a constant flow of...

    What temperature on boiler?

    HW if you have a tank should not be under a certian amount else it does not kill bacteria in HW cylinder. CH as said should be as low as possible so your return flow temp is under 50c to aid condensing. I have mine set to 65c which works fine and much quieter too but may try lower, my HW tank...

    Vaillant VR66 wiring control centre causing heating modulation woes?

    I was under impression that boiler most of the time will not turn off just modulate down, I can see the only way it would turn off is if the temp goes over the max you have set on front on boiler. When it does turn off check the status code on the boiler. If it over shoots then maybe your curve...

    Firebird oil boiler hit water problem... Maybe

    My honeywell valves do not trigger the microswitch on manual unless you push it quickly over then it clicks for a couple of seconds. I think manual is only for filling the system.

    Fixing a drip from Vaillant unvented hot water cylinder cold inlet

    It's a sealed system, personally ide either isolate if you can else drain it down. If you get another exact valve you may be able to replace the rubber seal inside the valve, that is what I did with mine.

    Firebird oil boiler hit water problem... Maybe

    Maybe your HW valve is broken. It would only be heating the HW when CH is on if the zone valve does not close properly (or wired wrong). Also if it does not open properly then it could have restricted flow

    Firebird oil boiler hit water problem... Maybe

    If you are getting a lockout then it will be either a fault or overheat condition, ie the pump not taking heat away quick enough then the boiler overheats. As you have little diagnostics on the boiler then you will need to do more digging. S plan or Y plan? Is it a 3 port valve or 2 ports.

    What does the boiler say its tripping out on, can you check flow/return temps?

    Water hammer from mid position valve

    Look at the arrow on the side of the pump body, I recently replaced my pump for a UPS3 and out the box it flowed up (if you mount body with label RWU) but my flow is down towards valves so I had to take body off and turn it around so it looked all correct.

    Does the boiler trip only when HW is requested or also when CH is turned on?

    Programmable Thermostat Advice

    Just get a wireless stat, then you are not limited on space, just put the receiver by the boiler. Can not advise on controllers as I have an old drayton days tat, they make a modern version that has complete 7d control and wireless, but it's only CH. I have main timer for CH/HW and replaced...

    Vaillant ecofit pure keeps erroring

    According to manual, there need to be a TRV between the main pump and boiler return, also pump needs to be wired direct to boiler and not via wiring center. Im sure the ecofit has minimum flow rates which means TRV and pump on fixed speed should be set I think. I have a 418 ecotec and that is...

    Vaillant ecofit pure keeps erroring

    Is this an open vent? Is there a TRV, does pump stay on after boiler stops firing? You have a negative pressure leak, air is drawn in not water going out. How else is air getting in.
