    New Build - Ideal HE24 - Furthest Radiator Going Cold

    depending on size of the entire system, 1st thing i'd look at is the expansion vessel size. the vessel is like the 'bellows' of the system, they're not big at all in that size boiler, they're intended for 1-2bed homes with 1 bathroom. plus undersized expansion vessels burst for a past...

    Firebird Oil Combi C26 - no hot water pressure.

    depending on which firebird it is, it may have a blending valve, and these can easily get blocked on the hot inlet side. to locate the blending valve, remove the front panel, and look for a chrome looking valve with a plastic head and 3 pipes going in/out of it. on the plastic head there are...

    will worcester combi greenstar 24i junior do?

    worcester ARE NOT THE BEST!! and the junior is the worse of them! for the money you would pay for a junior, you could spend a £100 more and get a viessmann 26kw combi, get a viessmann installer and have 5 years warranty!! so much better than a junior! engineers say worcester and...

    Viessmann 200-W WB2B - Help With Accesories

    one thing to remember, these weather comp kits are designed to work in houses with rather good insulation properties, infact they struggle to maintain a good constant temp in a house with anything other than good insulation!

    Viessmann 200-W WB2B - Help With Accesories

    i agree that some of their tech guys can be a little defensive of their products when often you're simply asking a standard question/making a observation of the product.

    Viessmann 200-W WB2B - Help With Accesories

    right, you need to use the internal diverter valve if you want to use the weather comp. thats it and all about it, SIMPLE AS! to use a unvented cylinder on this boiler needs a internal chip upgrade so that you can use a 2nd 2 port valve, this is for G3 regs. your installer will know all...

    viessmann 100 or viessmann 200

    the 200w is the better boiler. its built to last a long time, not that the 100 isn't. its just that there are millions of the 200's around the world and faults are not rare on them.

    Riello burner in Grant CombiMax V90 outdoor oil boiler

    if you want to check if it is sparking, then please don't point the thing out of the burner box and 'look' at it from any distance UNLESS you remove the solinoid coil from the oil pump, then it will not be able to get oil to the nozzle, thus not ignite! its very dangerous to tell anyone to...
