    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 937 - Drip from Overflow Pipe

    What is your pressure like on the cold main coming into your house. The pressure relief valve on the hot water side is rated at 10bar so it will take a fair amount of mains pressure to make it drip. I've only ever seen 2 go. If your mains pressure is very high then the best solution would be to...

    Potterton Pro Max Boiler - allergic to cold weather

    What sort of system have you got? One thought is that if the boiler is firing for frost protection because it's cold and from memory I don't think the pump is wired back to boiler on this model it might be calling for heat but has no circulation as the pump is not going. Or if it's on an s plan...

    glowworm 30 cxi

    The majority of problems with no display are due to a faulty pcb. On the rare occasion a faulty fan can cause loss of display and on a very very very rare occasion a faulty pressure sensor can cause the same problem. If your unsure disconnect the low voltage wiring harness plugs on the left hand...

    Vaillant "D" Settings help

    Funny that I put my 418 in 3 years ago on a 30 year old system and surprise surprise no noise. System wasn't power flushed it just had fernox cleaner run through it after installation. Biggest problem with noise on this boiler is installers putting it on the wall, filling it up, giving it a...

    Cold water firing up boiler - Vaillant ecotec 837

    One thing you could try is going into the d codes on the boiler. If you press the i and + button together. Then use the + button to go up to d88 and if you alter this it will cause a slight delay to the hot water start up.

    Vaillant Ecotec 418 - Starts with quite a boom

    Sounds like it might be a burner problem. They changed the design a few years ago and can cause dodgy ignition on some boilers. Hopefully if they fit a replacement it will be of the older more reliable design. Also if it is just over 12 months old be careful when they ask if it's been serviced...

    S=D Thermaclassic F 30 E Plus

    It's been a while since I worked on one. It similar to a glowworm but the components are fitted the wrong way round to them. The pressure sensors are the same as vaillant but be careful as the plastic components have a habit of getting a pin hole near the plate connection. On the glowworm...

    Vaillant 837 Combi Boiler - No hot water

    It won't be a problem with the pcb it will be due to a bad connection on the wiring loom. From the thermal fuse on the main heat exchanger the lead connects on the harness near the right hand side of the main heat exchanger. There is also a resistor that tells the boiler what size it is...

    Is it safe to use a boiler needing adjustment to gas/air?

    How can you say the boiler is safe to use. The reason the boiler is making a farting noise is because stable combustion cannot be achieved. This can be due to various reasons including a badly adjusted gas valve, low working gas pressure at the boiler or even possibly a break in the flue causing...

    ecoTEC plus 937

    The best way to get it checked and signed off is to contact your local authority building control. They will be able to send out one of their contractors to check the installation complies with current building and gas regs. It will cost you you but the only way to get a certificate of...

    Glow Worm Swift Flow 120, should be a quick one!

    How was the hot water before the replacement pcb? If it was ok then it might be a case of the new pcb not being set up properly.

    Why is everyone giving this bloke such a hard time.
