Very much so, I dont have boiler insurance hence not having to deal with whomever they send to me.. As Agile says, "unless I got a particularly good engineer, it's all you could expect from an average engineer". I'm worried i'm going to fork out yet more money on another 'average' eng, when...

I'm not doing very well here giving accurate info...I apologise! All repairs done by same company, and engineer. 1st visit - 12 months ago 2nd visit - 2 months ago 3rd visit - 2 months ago following day god, hope i got it right this time! lol Thanks for persisting with me! Jon

Whoops!! sorry! I typed all that in a rush with 5 spare mins at work! its a Baxi 80Eco

Sorry, that read wrong, I meant "I know exactly what was changed, but, the problem is, whatever he did seemed to....." Anyway, in response to your requests, I'll try to be concise with this... 12 months ago, DHW was cycling H/C/H/C/H..... Thermistor replaced 2 months ago (visit 1) -...

I know exactly what was changed, and the problem is, whilst whatever he did seemed to temporarily solve the problem, it has now reoccured and I'm left with a part functioning boiler. As you can imagine, I am reluctant to call out the same guy for a 4th time for what symptomatically is the...

I've made a few posts now over the past year about my boiler, but I'm at the point where it has broken yet again, and each time the problems are so similar, that I can't help but think the problem wasn't fixed properly in the first place. I don't want to upset the engineer however in case...

i dont believe he did no. I'd like to get him back in as they are a good, reputable local company and good value for money, i just think the problem has presented as something vague and hard to diagnose. When he does come, is there a short list of things I should ask him to check, on top of...

by lock out do you mean the red led? if so, not yet haven't. jon

My problem has evolved, so I thought it best to start a new thread.... In a nutshell, when I turn on the CH, the sequence is as follows: pump comes on, fan comes on, something clicks, then flame comes on with orange light. After about 10 seconds or so, something clicks and flame goes out...

ah! forgiven :roll:

Ahh! Tha wants to live in God's own county, where t'water is lovely n soft. Thes no gunk in our tea!

The one that goes out the wall i presume? the one the fan blows over and causes a venturi effect and causes reduced pressure which in turn trips the air pressure switch? I was told excess dirt might restrict the outflow of airflow and the boler cant therefore maintain stable pressure and the AP...

i've had the exact same prob occur on my baxi 80e twice in the past year, each time a different. Bet its one of them. 1) DHW thermistor knackered, needs replacing 2) DHW heat exchange unit scaled up, doesn't disipate heat efficiently and causes the outflow back to the main heatplate to be...

some advice from a friends gas eng husband suggest one of two things, do they sound possible? dirt in vent pipe and pressure not being maintained so air pressure switch trips off, or CH thermostat knackered, unplug it and see if boiler keeps working, if it does, then thats the prob. i...

Addendum: It's obviously intermittent. After days of doing to the same thing, today, it's stayed lit and only gone out once!

For the third time this year, after having it fixed, my boiler has presented with a different problem. When i switch the heating on, when the system gets nearly up to temp, the flame cuts out. Then it tried to restart, and you hear the fan whir up a few times, then after 3/4/5 unsuccessful...

thanks for the quick replies! I turned off all the hot radiators upstairs at the lockshields as they dont all have TRV's. Almost immediately, the new radiator and surrounding pipework started "gluggling", and behold, the previously cold radiators are now hot. Thanks John506! Homes, I'll...

I added a new radiator to my system today and now Im left with a seemingly illogical problem.... I have a baxi combi boiler, 3 radiators on the 1st floor, one in the attic and two on the ground floor. The flow/return pipes go up from the boiler in the kitchen to the first floor, across under...

EDIT: scrap what I said below...heating was working fine, now the boiler won't fire up at at all. when I run HW, I can hear the fan & pump starting up, but not followed by the usual WOOF as the flame kicks in. Same for heating. Bugger!! ___________________ So, turns out my PCB was causing...

My mistake...it's a Baxi 80Eco....not an 80e, so no LED's on front other than Power (green), Flame(orange), and Fault(red). The orange one is coming on intermittently as and when the flame comes on, and I get cyclic HW. When I put the heating on, same happens, flame is cyclic, and slowly but...
