I am starting a new thread because the previous report of this minor fault was taken over by a bunch of posters who spent their time attacking one another in their own private jargon. One was touting for business.
A Vaillant 242 is failing to light up intermittently for HW. It can be persuaded to do so by turning the CH full on, but this is not something I wish to do in summer, whenever i want hot water. When it does not light uop only the lowest green light stays illuminated. When it does, all the lights flash on as normal. This it does about 50% of the time. But it also stops during a shower run.
Vaillant sent a man around who was immediately aggressive and rude. He arrived three hours later and failed to phone to say when he was coming as he had agreed to do. He noticed that a radiator had been disconnected - which obviously I was unaware of, as it had been done by painters. On seeing this and it being 5 o clock, he walked out, sayint that I should buy a brand new boiler and claiming that it was dangerous to work under these conditions..
But I am aware that the new boilers are even less reliable than the older ones. Another visitor wanted to replace all the gas pipes, which I am sure is unnecessary. The quotes for fitting a new boiler, when anyone will give them run to thousands of pounds/
Is it any wonder that people turn to DIY or seek foreign workers who know so little english that they do not know how to be rude.
