Heatline were probably bought by Vaillant for the inroad to the domestic boiler market in Turkey rather than their small involvement in the UK market !
Having said that they are a well designed boiler with a Grunfoss pump and their sales used to be the fastest growth in the UK !
They are the lowest priced boiler on the market at the moment!

Vaillant now have glow-worm and heatline as part of their group. Sort of an expensive, middle and low budget approach to the marketplace. Sometimes the low budget is best provided they are installed correctly to the MI .Went on the heatline training course myself, was quite impressed, the guy certainly knew his stuff 
They may be lowest priced but their spares certainly aint.
As these are generally poorly fitted they dont last long before having problems so its best to buy a second boiler for spares.

In my experience most installers who fit heatline (and other cheap tat) do so because customer insists on a cheap job and they are rarely powerflushed or installed correctly. Might last two years if your lucky before a major repair.
i fit heatline boilers all the time and there is nothing wrong with them. 90% of all problems are down installer error. the solaris is the best bang for the buck around.
in fact i fitted a vallant 837 the other day and for premium i was not impressed at all. i would fit a solaris with out skipping a heart beat for anyone!
this "Might last two years if your lucky before a major repair" is utter bull nothing like pulling a random number out of the sky

Are bmw better Hyundai? I know which I'd rather drive. Vaillant bought Heatline owner Demir Dockum for the aircon, foothold in asia and budget end of the market. Most heatline installers bodgit and scarper. . . . .

As they have fewer faults than BMWs and hence more reliable, I would say, yes.

The best bang for buck is another Turkish boiler using the similar parts, the ECA Confeo Premix 30kW. Cheaper than equiv Heatline. Both are cheap though.
Vaillant service engineers do the Glow Worms and Heatline, so maybe they have the edge.
Vaillant did not buy Heatline to get into the Turkish market, they bought them because they make them cheaper in Turkey. The budget range.

What are guarantees on Heatlines and ECAs?

I would say no. I had an m3 and it drove like a dream, I've driven a Hyundai coupe and it was crap!

You pay for what you get in life. Cheap is rarely cheerfull in my experience but the quality of the installation and system is as important as the quality of the boiler. I am always being asked to "have a look at" broken down Heatlines that are around two years old because the installer won't answer the customers calls. . . . .
Of all the budget boilers Heatline are as good as any and better than most but I still don't want one in my house. My Vaillant is alot better thanks.

my job is not to defend any boiler make(it is not like it is a football team).
or to say one is better than the other.
i fit heatline boilers because it is what is best for me, my customers and the area i work in. i know the faults that heatline have better then most installers as i am also a service agent for them.
if a customer phone me two years down the line(btw all models sold outside b&q have two year warranty) i would be falling over my self getting there to fix it
it is not heatline's fault for poor installations or no show installers
anyway the solaris is being replaced with the "sargon" so we will see how that pans out
