I have a friend in a low place at BG - when we go for drinkies on Friday I will
ask him about the latest vaillants - he and his mates are quite good at knowing
as they deal with all the breakdowns. he has told me about loads of trends over the years
1. The Magnaclean scandal when they were de-listed by BG
2. A Really bad patch for Worcester a few years ago

having a few issues with them loads of fan failures and pin holed hydroblocks
I changed a fan other week on a Worcester 25 he, dead good to swap.
week later the pump went on it 🙁
was doing alot of servicing in the summer and had alot of worn flue seals on vaillants
ive been saying this last few months if they build for it to last we would all be out of work
Specialising in pin holes
Me too....pin holetastic!

Fitted my first and last vaillant last week, nothing is screwed (except the flue, which is worrying as you have to make 3 connections compared to wb's 1 connection.) pipe didn't go behind so all pipe work visible. The start up process takes forever, purging and testing etc. the valves are rubbish, prv was impossible to connect when flow and return connected. Condensate is glued on to connection in boiler. Condensate must be put into a w.machine trap to prevent syphonage. Absolutely cack, customer was alimentary so I fitted the piece of cack, never again!! Lost a job last week as another plumber recommended a glow worm with 10 year guarantee, so looking for alternative to Wb.
I had a 28cdi today bf, pcb.
£230 plus vat !
to be fair the older ones I don't come across that much, but the juniors, green stars I come across loads !!

It is not to be glued just pushed on. Read the instructions.
I have fitted hundreds if this Vaillant boiler and I must say they are a lot quicker to install then WB or main .
Knowing all the cods to use on boiler for filling up and purging does help Jase . Take a manual and you could read it if you are going to install more ! However there heat only boiler just like viessmen is really hard to get rid of boiler on open vent systems.
Remember one job where I fitted 2 boilers and I got air out of so easy but the other just did not want to know .... 3h later got in the van happy

Also Jase trap on Vaillant must be filled in before turning boiler on as it will let POC out
