My Vaillant boiler has started to perform differently. It now starts to recycle early after a few minutes when flow temp is 40 or 50 degs. The recycling symbol flashes for 10-15 mins then the boiler fires up again until target flow temp achieved. I called Vaillant out under warranty who fitted...

Have switched from a conventional boiler to condensing and have noticed the difference in the room stat temp to required temp. I initially calibrated room stat to make sure that was OK. At the moment, I have the boiler coming on when temp reaches .5 deg below desired temp. (20.5). After the...

My boiler (Vaillant eco-Tec +418) was installed around 18 months ago and has been working fine. However, I recently noticed that the target flow temp is being exceeded. We control room temp via the room stat, so whilst it is on at the programmer, the CH obviously doesn't come on this time of...

Decided to change room stat as current one old and starting to have 2/3 degs between turning boiler on and off. Just wanted a basic dial model, and purchased a Drayton, but whilst it clicked on it wasn't clicking off. Replaced it with a Honeywell T6360. Works OK, but the click on/off is around...

Boiler started to run for a while then switches to overheat mode. Thinking maybe stat, pump or airlock. Bled rads recently no air, so maybe one of the first two? It's an old timer (19 years) regularly serviced and maintained but I guess they don't last forever. Would be grateful for any advice...
