Hi all,
I have a Baxi Barcelona gas boiler and recently have been havin a nitemare with the system.
All was working well until 4 weeks ago when the boiler kept going into overheat/lockout. We called phoenix gas out who promptly replaced the ignition board and a sunvic valve to the tune of £220!
Since then water was not heating and was still going into lockout, so rang a friend who was a plumber and he had a look. He removed the NEW sunvic valve saying it was causing the system to lockout and it was a pointless thing to have. He turned water temp up on the hot water tank and all is almost well now, i got any amount of hot water and no more lockouts.
However, we recently had the bathroom tiled and the 2 rads were off for this, also had a leak in the front room rad, so when he was round i got him to turn the 3 rads back on. The problem im having is that the upstairs rads are all ROASTING but the d/stairs are ALL lukewarm. Have bled the rads, very little air in any of them.
As my wife is expecting our first child in 5 weeks this in turning into a bit of an emergency issue ( winter and all that), so much that im so sick of it all i would gladly replace the LOT!!
Any help (idiots guide) would be GREATLY appreciated as im getting it from all angles!
Many thanks.
