    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 418 - Does NOT Work - HELP!!!!!

    Ha Ha :!: :!: Well I definitely know more now than I did before. Anyway, he replaced PCB but it still said F.73, so he put another one in and after a bit of button fiddling managed to get it back to how it was before with F.23 and S98. He checked the Flow & Return pipes and said they seemed ok...

    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 418 - Does NOT Work - HELP!!!!!

    If F.23 is an installation fault then Vaillant won't do anything about that as they will only touch their actual appliance. I will have to rely on the HA's company to sort out any problems with pipework, pump, water etc. :roll:

    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 418 - Does NOT Work - HELP!!!!!

    I'm sure it is an installation fault. But if it can be put back to how it was (F.23) I can check flow & return pipes to see which gets hot first. Also, I can get engineers back to check pump, water in system etc. According to who they sent yesterday, I was left a manual short (which is the one I...

    Water coming out of all radiators, plenty. This is a Housing Association approved all round 'Repair' company we're talking about here :!: I've checked d.93 and it says 1 which is supposed to be 418 but when I check d.0 it reads 15 but should read 18 shouldn't it. It won't let me change it to 18.

    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 418 - Does NOT Work - HELP!!!!!

    Thanks Dave, reverse flow/return NTC defective (tolerances too big) is what most codes have meant. So would it not make a difference to reset to manufacturer settings, definitely have to call back 'Engineer/Installer' :?:
