Really looking for some quick advice if possible. We have a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28 R2 combi boiler, installed in late 2010. Model number is VUW GB 286/3-3. The boiler has generally been ok, and is regularly serviced. A few weeks ago, we started having a problem with the hot water. It would get...

Hi, I'm hoping from some sage advice, from you lovely people. I have a Valiant Ecotherm 832 Combi boiler that was put in about 4 years ago. I'd just moved in, and the place had an old oil boiler that sounded like a jet engine, and an uninsulated hot water tank that was taking up tons of room...

My heat and hot water have stopped working at my new apartment. My boiler is showing the F.22 error and I understand that means I need to refill it with water but when I search how to do that I only find results about turning valves, which my boiler doesn't seem to have. Any help would be...

Hello all. We have a Vaillant Ecotec plus 615 boiler. Our central heating system has an open tank in the attic and a hot water tank next to the boiler. There is a single three way motorised valve. My main concern is that the boiler regularly fires up even when there is no call for heat. As...

Hi All, Looking for some advice please! Not sure if this could be a DIY Home fix or if I need to call an engineer. I have a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418, which appears fine on the hot water side and is able to maintain temperature however when I call for heating, initially it seems to go for a...

I have one of these which has worked well for years. Some time ago just about everything except for the pump and heat exchanger was replaced. Today I noticed the boiler needed topping up and I did so to around 1 bar. I then found the automatic air vent was dripping. I took it off and tried...

Hi, Any heating engineers able to help? Apologies if previously covered. I did try and search. Just arrived back from holiday and our boiler won't start up. The screen won't power up and is just continuously flashing 'loading'. It doesn't get as far as showing any error codes. It sounds like...

Hello, Hoping someone can help! Not sure what else to try. We have a Vaillant eco tec boiler and we also have a Vaillant auro stor water heater, but for the last two months all of our hot water is coming out Lukewarm. When we first moved in it worked perfectly and the water was super hot. Our...

Our thermostat has a desired temperature of 20 degrees Celsius but it is turning on the heating, not matter what the temperature is. It is currently reading 26 degrees Celsius. We have tried turning the heating mode off but the thermostat turns back to auto immediately and resets the date as...

I've got one of these boilers - it's about 20 years old. It's got a time switch thingy on the front panel which ticks quite loudly - a bit annoying because it sits in the corner of my lounge (albeit behind a small door). I don't use the time switch - I've got a separate programmable thermostat...

I am hoping someone here can help - have looked through this very helpful forum and couldn't find a similar issue discussed. I have a Vaillant Turbomax plus 828E which works intermittently for both hot water and heating - it comes on sometimes and at other times it doesn't. From what I can tell...

Hi… I have an old Vaillant Ecomax 824/2e that is making some very hot water! The water temp gauge is set to 50 degrees Celsius (on the lcd display on the boiler - the dial is about half way between coldest and hottest). However, when I turn on the top tap fully, the reading on the same gauge...

Hi my boiler lost pressure due to a leaking radiator. Does anyone know how I can repressurise please ? I don't have the manual from when I moved in. I have identified the loop but there is only 1 valve that I can turn. Any guidance would be appreciated it. Complete novice here !
