WARNING VAILLANT 837 commbi boiler

[Dan Robinson]

Did you really? I think I would have remembered

If I did it has no bearing here, and it seems a lucky escape for me too.


Herts is a big county btw, and there is more than heating engineer called Dan I am sure.

Oh, and a little research shows that I have no love lost for vaillant. Ask any regular here.


Vaillant would eat you for breakfast if you tried- it on

 

[sssteiner]

The faults were no heating, heating would take 30 minutes to 1 hour for radiators to heat up, heating would only heat 5 radiators others turned off boiler on full stat, heating would warm radiators only boiler on full stat, no heating, advised to turn off electric to boiler and restart sometimes worked, room stat removed boiler wired and throughout the 3 winters no control over heating when operating for limited periods only.
No F numbers on any of these.

 

[sssteiner]

Dan I nearly said it but I was being polite, your all mouth and no action so keep out of it now.

Listen boy keep your gob shut

 

[petit_pablo]

With no F numbers then your system is at fault and the boiler isnt able to function correctly because of this.

Sounds like a circulation problem, and a problem you have had for some time too if the previous boiler did it too. A new boiler will not solve the problem.

 

[bell824]

so at what point of your debate have you not understood then that the fault lies outwith your boiler,
1, your old boiler never worked
2, your new boiler doesn't work,
would you be surprised that
3, another new boiler WOULDN'T work.

to the initiated and educated and to my knowledge you have had at least 10 registered engineers (some not even vaillant lover's) trying to tell you that you have a sytem fault.

the saying that comnes to mind is you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
you my freind seem to be that horse.

 

[sssteiner]

Well a polite reply and thank you.

Is that a threat?

Tut tut.

Still not the foggiest idea who you are. But I will say you are very entertaining. Seems it is troll week afterall.

1, The old boiler was an early combi vaillant a complete and utter piece of rubbish as you well know, which yes was too small a boiler for 20 rads.
2, The new boiler is a combi vaillant look at its construction, the parts and I have forgotten to mention the cheap crimping clips where 1 gave way with a drip loosing pressure if not found (F number) it would have flooded the whole boiler and electrics, the boiler is a commercial not domestic, the pipework is the correct diametre and the boiler is suitable, it is faulty.
3, Another new boiler will work, remember 3rd time lucky, if it does not well that will be hot water with the vaillant and solid fuel Aga for the heating and they do not go wrong, obviously fire bricks and castings need replacing.
10 registered engineers ? sorry what does that mean, I have a king dick spanner in the garage it sounds better and always works.

 

[sssteiner]

Dan from herts you want an arguement as before, no its not a threat but can you keep out of it as you have no intention of helping.

 

[Andygasman2010]

Do you think your 837 is a commercial boiler???

The faults were no heating, heating would take 30 minutes to 1 hour for radiators to heat up, heating would only heat 5 radiators others turned off boiler on full stat, heating would warm radiators only boiler on full stat, no heating, advised to turn off electric to boiler and restart sometimes worked, room stat removed boiler wired and throughout the 3 winters no control over heating when operating for limited periods only.
No F numbers on any of these.

so the problem with the heating was that the boiler was in anti cycling mode for some reason when doing central heating. why was it doing that?

you cant blame the manufacture to be honest, after 4 years after paying somebody to give you a working heating system and it's still not working?
that's your fault not theirs, your installer (who you paid to give you something to keep you warm) hasn't delivered, and you have let it drag it on far too long. sorry dont mean to be harsh,

I dont know what is wrong with your heating system,I've never looked at it, the boiler may have been faulty from day one but from the symptoms above I would have checked the flowrate through the boiler first when in central heating and of ok, worked my way from there

It would not take four years to get to the cause of your problem, whether it turned out to be related to the
Boiler
electrical
or plumbing
it should not even take take 3 days in a domestic/light commercial property for anyone good at fault diagnostics at any of the above to narrow it down or to eliminate a problem their end

and even if it turned out to be a faulty boiler,it may not even have been the manufacturers fault (dropped and dammaged in warehouse or by installer)
it should have been sorted by now and you have let it drag on too long

No helping some people

3, Another new boiler will work, remember 3rd time lucky, if it does not well that will be hot water with the vaillant and solid fuel Aga for the heating

I hope it's not joined. 837 is a sealed system boiler serving 20 rads and solid fuel boiler is a open vent serving heating with what.....radiators. You say you have 20 radiators, which I think have lot of bedrooms and a combi is unsuitable, why a combi?? You're not telling the whole story....

Get a heat only boiler and use existing cylinder serving by Aga if you got one for hot water.

Dan.

You should definitely get a new boiler . That will sort it
