    Hi this guy is good he should be an engineer to know that .I had 3 people both gas register and with big company and name.behind them. .but they can't not fixing my hot water tap on the combi boiler heatline .please please urge to everyone there is lots Con people out there to Con us. Last engineering he's told me I need it new boiler as this is 6 years old and really not need it a new boiler that what is the problem is just change that and the boiler working like new

    Hi. I’m glad it saved you £££. I tend to do the diagnosis primarily and get an engineer to repair or replace based on my diagnosis. Reason I do this is because majority do not know how to diagnosis correctly and the simplest get out clause is to replace boiler. Diagnosis is the hardest part, changing a part is simple.

    For a boiler to lose pressure, there must be a leak somewhere. Firstly, when heating is on check outside on the wall where the boiler is situated to see if there are any drips of water from the overflow pipe. If there’s not leak there, move onto checking everything inside the house. If you have carpet feel the floor around the bottom of the Rads where the pipes are

    We have a capriz 28. It leaks when the Rads are off but not so much when they are on. We still have hot water and hot rads. I think its the diverter. Boiler is 10years old, is it worth fixing. We are currently emptying a few buckets a day and having to refill daily.

    Is the water leaking beneath the boiler? If so, it is likely that it will be from the diverter valve. In the video @ 1:39 minutes you can see the motor. Usually the part of the diverter valve that leaks is behind this motor. Motor is held in place by a forked retaining pin which slips out. It’s a cheap fix if that’s your only problem.

HW and rads both work fine, only problem is the leak and having to refill it often especially when rads are off as it leaks more then.

    Sounds to me like the problem is with your domestic hot water heat exchanger. Issue is sludge (black) build up which is restricting the flow. I am assuming your cold water tap flows as normal so it wouldn’t be a water pressure problem.

    Hi Tony, I will upload a video this weekend outlining how I successfully cleaned a heat exchanger. In the mean time I will try to describe it to you. Get hold of ‘Knock Out Spirits of Salt’, I purchase from Selco. Use gloves, wear goggles and perform the cleaning outdoors. Pour the knockout stuff into the openings (holes) of the heat exchanger and watch the reaction. Leave for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with water and repeat. Test the heat exchanger by holding a hose pipe on one end and check the flow out the other end.

    @@terryward4162 I need more info Terry. 1) Is the flow of water good? 2) Is heating working fine? a) If no, then dhw heat exchanger has built up sludge. b) If yes, then you say you’ve replace the diverter valve already, so then it would likely be the flow sensor or the diverter valve motor. Given you said already that you changed heat exchanger and it worked for 2 months and problems reoccurred, indicates the issue is sludge. After cleaning the dhw heat exchanger use some sentinal x800 as per the instructions.

    At the bottom of the boiler, you will need to turn off the cold water inlet. Then turn on the hot water tap at the lowest point in the house, usually the kitchen. This will stop the water. If unsure of the cold water inlet check the manual or you can download off the web to make sure. I hadn’t shown the fixing of the issue as the purpose was to highlight common issues with this boiler.

    @@johnlishman4946 Hi John, I would suggest, as you have already mentioned removing the black assembly (pump body) behind the pump and giving it a thorough clean if you can. To remove: 1) Remove the motor 2) Remove the secondary water-to-water heat exchanger - a) Drain the boiler’s hydraulic circuit, b) Remove the two screws which connect the heat exchanger to hydraulic circuit, c) Remove the exchanger from the gap on the left hand side (bit of a tight squeeze but does come out with some wriggling around) 3) Remove the expansion vessel pipe by removing the clip on the pump body 4) Disconnect the electrical leads of low pressure sensor 5) Disconnect the pumps outlet fitting (copper pipe connection at the top of the pump body) 6) Remove the fixing screws from the pump and hydraulic block at the bottom of the boiler 7) Remove the pump body from the hydraulic assembly by releasing the clip

    @@johnlishman4946 John, before purchasing anything I would personally say you try to give it a thorough cleaning and reassemble and check if that makes a difference. There isn’t anything mechanical or electronic inside the pump body (the black part behind the pump) to fail. I say this as, if this doesn’t make a difference the likelihood is a fault on the PCB. I don’t normally mess with PCBs, but have often noticed broken solder joints and on resoldering it’s sorted problems.

    Apologies for the very late reply. You comment got lost amongst the other comments. Anyway. You do not need to drain the whole system. You should have the shit off valves at the bottom of the boiler. Close those. You will still have some excess water within the boiler at that point so have a bowl and plenty of towels to hand. I usually take this as an opportunity to drain the whole system and on refilling add new inhibitor.

    I have heatline vizo 24 combi boiler, had the same problem, the flames or gas failure warning light flashing. I reset it the boiler would try and start up a couple times, then stop and the warning light would start flashing. A qualified gas Safe registered engineer change the blue cap on top of the condensate trap and the proplem was solved after the boiler was reset. It's a safety feature. According to the user instruction manual, the condensate trap bottom part should be filled with 50 cc. of water before you use the boiler installation. If the trap overfill for some reason the contacts on the blue cap will short out the ionisation electrodes flame sensor. If that's not the cause then it could be the ionisation electrodes corrosion on the end itself, Which I learnt from combi boiler tutorials. This is a suggestion. I A'M NOT QUALIFY, THIS IS MY DISCLAIMER. So have a qualified gas Safe registered engineer to see if this the cause of the problem if you haven't already found the problem. If so, of interest I would like to know what was the cause. 🙄
