have Ideal Etype 100N boiler with balanced flu.
Fitted 1980. told i can no longer get spare parts ?
have to molly coddle the system. radiators upstairs not very hot. downstairs v.hot. on 135 at stat.
i understand original installer ? T'd off from flow to landing toilet before going to cylinder.
Had trouble with boiling over. plumber extended vent pipe. no good. consulting engineer put on safety valve and added bypass valve between flow and return. works ok but rads upstairs only warm. towel rail gets very hot and bathroom rad. Bathroom rad comes on with domestic hot water and gets hotter if i put heating on.
any ideas about getting rads upstairs hotter. Added Fernox Feb 2008.
do i need a new boiller? below are test results.is he right
test: O2 % =7.9, CO2 % = 7.4, COppm = 202, flue in degrees C =265.8
inlet degrees C= 15.8, NETT degrees C= 250
EFF (C) = 86.8, losses =13.2, XAIR%= 60.7
CO/CO2 = 0.0027
PRS mbar = 0.00 not sure what all this means
i have a co alarm and so far no problem.
if i change the boiler i think i need to investigate and take up pipes to find out exactly the problem or should i leave things alone and wait for the boiler to fail?
