Flue?

But how patronising are you? You know nothing about me. And because I ask a simple question you automatically think I haven't the ability to install a boiler. To be honest I think plumbers (or whatever you are called) try to mystify their trade and belittle intelligent people for doing what...

Ok a very simple question about the electrical connection on the Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837. I have installed the boiler and very well it went too, but I can't see how to run the mains cable into the boiler, as soon as I put the front case on it squashes the cable. I can't find where I can run...

This post is related to http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=186468 The boiler is now not giving me any hot water or central heating. I cleaned the water section as described in the other post as I was unable to change the parts. The leak did reduce considerably and everything has...

I rang them and indeed they were very helpful and knowledgeable, I have order those two parts (well 3 actually because we didn't know what diaphragm was required I ordered both, but at £2.50 I was that bothered. Thanks for all your help, I will let you know how I got on. Steve

Hi I have a Vaillant VCW GB 242 EH that I purchased and installed in march 1992. Over the last couple of months a drip from the water section haas progessively gotten worse, to the extent that I can ignore it no longer. Looking for the whole water section on the internet has thrown up a...
