Can anybody solve this...please.

We have a Main 30he combi,


Approx 3 months ago,the wall start wasn't controlling the boiler,so I changed the stat and still the same problem.

I noticed the bedroom rad was leaking(not the valve but the actual rad)terribly rusted which crumbled in my hands...I cut the supply to the rad but as yet havnt changed the rad.

The boiler comes on for 25 seconds then cuts out for approx 3 minutes then comes on for 25 seconds and so on....rads upstairs are warmish whilst downstairs all cold.

Drained down the system and refilled and removed air...checked the pump which turns easily.

The pump makes a hissing/gurgling type of noise whilst the pipes by the boiler sound like a bath tub being emptied

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated .

What's the pressure in the system ?

also do you know you need to be gas safe to remove the cover of the boiler

 

[Zeberdee1]

Pressure 1.5 bar.....gas safe bloke checked pump and said the boiler Is knackered,I didn't trust his diagnosis .

Get another one out for a second opinion then that's all we can say sorry

That's if he was Gas safe?

Nobody able to point me in the right direction...just need impartial advice so when another guy comes here I am armed with possible questions...thanks.

The only question you need be asking is how old is the boiler and is it worth repairing.

Boiler installed approx 6 years ago.

Ask to see his card

 

[Riley]

Agreed. No one who is qualified will object to showing card

Get a recommendation or look in street life. We can't talk to through what it might be without you doing something illegal/not qualified for.
Besides if you try and and tell an engineer what's wrong your likely to wind him up a treat.

 

[Zeberdee1]

I come on here for advice and not one single person could even point to possible causes !,I have no intention of trying to fix it myself simply because I know it's illegal plus I havnt got a scooby about boilers.

Could it be blockage in the pipes...could it be blah blah blah....nothing from u guys at all.

Thanks anyway.

Wind your neck in and read the forum rules mate

 

[Scott_D]

Have you checked everything you did while working on the system, shut valves etc

 

[Dotty]

More than enough advice given.

Another one who gets snotty despite not bothering to read the rules he agreed to when registering with the forum.

Thread closed and he's lucky I haven't banned him for his poor attitude.
