    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    I have checked the voltage on Term 4 is 240VAC when there is a demand for heating, hot water. Checked connections on the terminal block are tight, and tried link between Term 3 and Term 4. The boiler status still reports S.30 no demand for heating. As suggested I double checked setting of D.8...

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    That's the next challenge. The boiler needs a service anyway, hopefully that can be done as part of that.

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    Thanks. In case it's a faulty wire connection, I'm going to check that out the voltage on T4 is actually 240V with a meter, and try the link between T3-T4 to confirm the fault is still there. I'll probably go the replace pcb route.

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    The boiler does have a permanent live feed as it should, as well as the SL.The boiler is far too old for a warranty repair but if this current problem can be sorted, I may look at correcting this afterwards. Thanks

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    Yes it is. The installer didn't use a wiring centre but it has the same connections to the components.

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    Link 3-4 is not fitted. As your reply installation instructions say it is removed when using external controls. As you noted, the pump is not connected to the provided pump connector on the boiler, but is connected to the same circuit as boiler SL. I'm not sure why that was done by whoever...

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    The boiler was working fine Saturday, but wasn't working on Sunday. No changes have been made to any settings for several years. My own suspicion is the PCB too, although the various menus, and status displays all behave fine which means the processor and sw are running ok. Thanks

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418 problem - will not start up

    Hi, my heating which uses a Vaillant ecotec plus 418 boiler installed on an open vented central heating system using S plan has stopped working. The problem is the boiler is not firing up. The boiler status shows S30, which means there is no external demand for heat. I checked the SL to the...

    Correcting Floor level

    Thanks dazlight, that sounds ideal. It's the green moisture resistant chipboard for use in bathrooms/kitchens. I'm fairly practical, but is this something for a expert to tackle ? If so which trade would be able to do it ? Cheers Tony

    Correcting Floor level

    Hi we just had some work done by a builder in our old victorian two up two down. This has a small room on the back with a concrete floor, the old scullery I'd guess, it's about 3m by 2m. We are fitting a small galley kitchen in there. They have replastered, fitted new windows, added electrics...
