    You would need a vaillant wiring centre as well

    Vaillant problem

    Is there hot water coming out of the boiler. Check the pipe that is second from the left to see if it gets hot when there is a hot water demand. If it is hot coming out of the boiler but cold when it reaches your tap, you might have a faulty shower valve/ mixer tap

    Vaillant group UK LTD- customer service disgrace

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Corgi if the subject is getting into misuse of data. Think of all those boilers that were registered from 2005 while they were the regulatory body for gas installers. Then a few years ago they decided to introduce their own breakdown policy. Surprise surprise...

    Vaillant group UK LTD- customer service disgrace

    At the end of the day it just comes down to business, like any company they are out there to make money. Boilers aren't like what they used to be and there's a lot more than thermocouple, blocked pilot or gas valve to go wrong. We all seem to forget the curry and **** ups paid for by the...

    Megaflo air gap replenishing

    You need to isolate the water turn on the lowest hot water tap then hold open the temperature/pressure relief valve until the cylinder stop gurgling and water stops flowing from the tap. Then turn the temp/pressure relief valve until it clunks shut, turn off the tap and the cold water back on to...

    Lopro 10 underfloor heating

    I think connecting onto a clean system is a little more important. Inhibitor prevents corrosion and doesn't magically make dirty systems clean like some installers out there think

    Vaillant Eco-Tec Plus 831 - Heating coming on on its own.

    Give vaillant a call under warranty, they will probably replace it. It sounds a little dodgy with such a poor signal and only 4 meters away from the boiler

    Lopro 10 underfloor heating

    Has anyone on here had any experience with the nu heat lopro10 underfloor heating as a retro fit to a concrete floor. Just wondering if there was any issues with it heating up or is all the heat lost into the concrete slab

    Vaillant Eco-Tec Plus 831 - Heating coming on on its own.

    Go into the menu on the 350 to see how good the good the rf signal is between the boiler and the thermostat, it will rate it from 1-9. If the signal is poor and it can't communicate with the boiler the heating will default to the on position. Or maybe move the thermostat closer to the boiler and...

    Vaillant Combi boiler VUW 282 no hot water (upstairs only)

    How fairly new is the diverter? I've had a few problems of diverter valves going wrong after 18 months. If your getting hot water it isn't going to be the plate heat exchanger.

    Vaillant Ecotec Combi with actoSTOR

    Personally I'd go for the 837 as it's a lot less complicated and both boilers have the same flow limiter fitted on the cold inlet. The store works by allowing the water to be hotter and then if a blending valve is fitted then it will give a flow rate of 20lts/min with a 35-40 degree temp rise

    Vaillant Ecotec Combi with actoSTOR

    The actostor can only be used on the 937. Even though the boilers all have very similar components the main heat exchangers have a coding resistor telling the boiler what size it is. The pcb has a code programmed in telling it what boiler it is. So if you try to get an 831 heat exchanger to run...

    Boiler flue position nuisance (yes that one again...)

    This might not be exactly the best solution but should definitely raise an eyebrow. 1-fit a co detector 2- when neighbours boiler is firing your co detector APPARENTLY goes off 😉😉😉😉 wink wink!!!! 3- call gas emergency service for report of co and fumes As I...

    ultracom sxi f9 fault.

    Most of the time the f9 fault is due to a faulty pressure sensor. What should happen is the pump will start and stop for 5 times then it will show an f9 fault. The pressure sensor also acts as a pump proving switch. When the pump kicks in the sensor is looking for a small pressure increase. If...

    Vaillant ecotec plus cycling on HW only demand

    Fitting a low loss header might improve flow through the boiler and keep it running long enough to modulate down.
