Hi
i have a Baxi Combi boiler (130E i think) but i have a problem i need advice on how to handle. Basically, i have a loft extension and the boiler is on floor 1. Recently i have not been able to get hot water up to the loft and called the boiler people out number of times because of this. Most of them say that there is something wrong with the boiler, fix it and then go. But still the problem remains.
The last chap i had here said that it was the piping or taps and was NOT the boiler and suggested i change the shower because it was probably faulty (a thermostatic one). I did change this but still not working.
I can get it working IF i turn on a hot tap downstairs, wait for it to get hot. Turn it off and then the boiler recognises the tap being turned on in the loft.
If i turn the shower on in the loft without putting on a hot tap i will get no hot water up there.
Is this the boiler or something else? The boiler is 10 years old so theoretically at the end of its life but I would say that its the boiler and nothing else in the house. Pressure from cold was around 0.75 and when the tap was running it went to about 1 bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Lee
