heatline s24 combi

HI, Problems with BOILER Heatline s24 Combi,
Ok over the space of few month it started overheating and kettling, then h/w problems, then c/h temp setting dial started acting up, overheating again, now i have a flashing led for the dhw sensor.
so decided to check all sensors and stats, i found the clip/clamp for the heating sensor broke so zipped it back onto pipe, then the dhw immersed sensor was corroded and signs of leakage, all rest ok on visual inspection.
I am replacing the dhw sensor is it worth doing the c/h sensor?
and does anyone any ideas, input or help from past experience,

Couldnt really help mate, all i can say that ive had some hellish problems with these Heatline Boilers recently (one thing after another), one of the poorest manufacturers on the market. I would get yourself a Maintenance Contract asap to avoid further hassles down the line

For how little they cost I would replace both sensors at the same time.

Overheating etc could be down to dirty system water.

Although Heatline are not the best of boilers, when fitted professionally to a clean system and commissioned as per MI's they should serve their purpose quite well.

Both sensors changed and working now, also now knowing the potential problems its easier to what to look for and to help with 'preventative maintenance' in future to avoid anything too costly. How do you add treatment to the system? or a de-scaler?

thanks for everyones help we wont be cold for christmas now.

Happy Christmas

you too mousey

easiest way is to buy Inhibitor x100 in this form:

drain down your system, empty at rad, then with a silicone gun fire this stuff in through the bleeding hole at the top of the rad.

glad you got it sorted. don't mind mousey, valliant group(the people he works for) own heatline now. so heatline is the ugly duck at the moment to him.

merry xmas btw

If you fitted 10 Vaillants and 10 Heatlines all to totally clean systems I doubt either model would be significantly less reliable.

Actually it's not any more. Both Sentinel and Fernox now supply their products in aerosol form as well.

You are suffering from a typical cowboy job; cheap boiler installed with poor workmanship.
Bet your bottom dollar your system if full of crud with the usual results.
Start with cleaning the system, get it checked over completely and remedy all the problems found.
May cost a few bop, but you will have to do it sooner or later and if you do it now, you will at least avoid more discomfort.
