Cheers bud. My heads bursting thinking about this!

Maybe i should get an engineer in here and be done with it.I am a motor mechanic after all! :LOL: I just like to know a little on how thing work!

It appears after much searching,there is 2 models of this boiler.An early type with a flow switch and a later type with water pressure switch!

Does the flow switch only activate when the pump is on.If the pump is sticking will i stil see voltage at pump even if flow switch has shut off?
 
My first port of call would be the flow switch microswitch.

Have also had a few problems with the display pcb showing up non existent faults.
 
I hear what you are sayin scatman,but i can physically see the pin from the diaphram move back like no flow.

I have the boiler cover off just now im goin to check voltages at pump when fault happens.

It seems to be doin it less frequent now!!

I don't think you do hear what i am saying.

I'm talking about the electrical microswitch that is fastened on to the boiler flowswitch.

Faulty microswitches a very common.
 
Bingo. After finding out about the difference in models ie. flow switch/pressure switch finally i have found the fault.

Initially i looked at the installation manual followed instructions for low pressure-code 04-

I then found pressure ok

Checked what i thought at the time was the pressure switch.Found the pin slightly sticky in the diaphram/manifold housing,so cleaned and rebuilt this.

Found system still tripping.Then eventually would not reset at all,showing code 04 constantly.

I then followed pcb reset fault finding flow chart and came up with the conclusion that the pcb may be at fault.

Replaced pcb that i purchased on ebay for a reasonable price of 40 quid!

Found system now resetting as it should but fault still happening.

Due to pump being so quiet i could not tell if it was pumping or not when covers on,but when i learned about the differences between old model and new.Realised that the pump on my system is what activates the flow switch/pressure differential switch and infact it does not have the usual type pressure switch.

I then found which plug on the pcb supplied the motor and monitored voltage with multimeter til fault happened/tripped fault 04.

Bingo!!! Board supplying pump 240v,led flashing 04,flow switch not pressed and that F***ING pump sticking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking that the original pcb may be ok,on the other hand i was also thinking that if the pump is tight it may have damaged the board because a tight pump will draw far more current!

I will get a new pump in the morning and fit in the evening after work and keep the thred updated. Fingers crossed. :D

Not bad work for a motor mechanic me thinks ;)

I know the one mate.I have checked continuity a million times.On off on off on off.
