combi boiler

Hi all, I've been using this forum for many years now and found it particularly helpful. I'm now facing an interesting challenge and I'm getting a bit of conflicting advice so thought to tap into the diynot community more directly this time. I currently have a regular boiler with a vented hot...

Hi I have a Grant Vortex 36e, 36Kw keroscene combi boiler, used to heat the house hot water and radiators. I got it in 2008, so it's 8 yrs old now. It has worked flawlessly except that I have had to replace the internal expansion vessel once before and now again (twice in all). I just...

Hello I've got a Ferroli combi boiler, a Modena 80. I would like to convert a bedroom into a second bathroom. The first bathroom has an electric shower that obviously runs from the cold feed. I was hoping to run the new shower in the second bathroom from the boiler, so a mains fed shower...

Hi, I have a Vaillant Turbomax Wuv 282. Whenever it starts heating water, either for the taps or the radiators it makes a very loud vibrating sound. It seems to be coming from the top of the boiler. Is there some way to fix this? The boiler is in my living room so it's very annoying to have...

Hi, I've just moved into a property with a Baxi Combi 80e gas fired combi boiler. (http://www.baximarketing.co.uk/discontinued-literature/combi-boilers/Baxi-Combi-80e-105e-ins.pdf) Although this is quite an old and discontinued boiler and not the latest efficiency it does seem to work OK for...

Hi all! I live in a flat on the first floor of a converted house. About six months ago i had a combi boiler installed to replace an old failing boiler. Recently the boiler will occasionally fail to fire up to due to the pressure dropping to 0.. This normally happens if I am away for a night or...

Hi All, I wish to fill my heating circuit for my Glow Worm Ultracom 24cxi Combi Boiler... I have switched off the boiler and opened both the grey taps through 90degrees and nothing happens. I am no expert and my boiler is in this current state of the attached pictures. Do anyone have any...

Hi Guys. My parents house is a 6 Bed, 2 lounge, Large kitchen and 3 basement room house. There are 10 radiators in total, with a potential of 3 basement ones to be added at a later date. Currently they have 2 Worcester boilers. One does the ground and first floors, other does basement and top...

Hi I have a Grant Vortex Pro 36 Electronic Condensing Combi Oil Boiler (PDF Manual is here). For the taps the hot water delivery is immediate and as soon as the hot water tap comes on. It's hot as soon as the length of pipe is flushed out. Radiators are sometimes almost instantly hot, as soon...

Dear forum members, I have an unknown leakage in the central heating system - boiler pressure drops from 1.5 to 0.8 bar every day and I need to refill the boiler (Worcester 28i junior) with water daily. There is a plastic key that needs to be inserted and withdrawn every time to let water in...

Hi all. I moved into my new house a few months ago, and up until yesterday everything had been fine with the central heating. I noticed yesterday the heating downstairs no longer comes on. Some details on the system. I have a 'Ideal Logic 35' combi boiler. The central heating is zoned so that...

Hi there, I was having some problems with my central heating system a couple of months back. One radiator started leaking and I got this replaced and then about a month later none of the radiators were heating up. I got a few people in and they all said I needed a power flush and the system was...

Hi I have a Vokera Mynute 14e combi boiler. We recently had a problem whereby the radiators would get hot if the hot water was on, so we had the heating on full blast during the summer if we wanted hot water. This was diagnosed as being two electronic valves on the pipes coming out of the...

I have just bought a flat, which has the pictured combi boiler installed in an airing cupboard. As shown in the photo, the installation has a large number of crossing pipes, some of which appear to go down under the floor and some of which go right to the kitchen (and towards the gas meter)...

Hey everyone. I have Worcester 24i junior combi boiler (not the green star, the previous model) and live on 4th floor. Whenever shower is used, it's impossible to have constant mix of warm water. There's a good pressure in hot and cold water taps separately, however when mixed the pressure...

Having recently spent hours looking for a tiny leak in our Combi based pressurised central heating system, I thought I would pass on this tip for anyone else experiencing pressure losses. For less than £6 on eBay you can buy a moisture (damp) meter which can be pushed into carpets around pipes...
