Hi all, first post but I really hope someone can help.

Set up;

Vaillant (R1)Ecotec Plus 831 timer on boiler
Joules Unvented Cylinder
Grasslin QM2 Programmer
9 Double Radiator
4 Single Radiators
The plumbing, boiler and cylinder were all done around 2.5 years ago (boiler is a little older)

Issues;

1 - The Central Heating takes around 1 hour to get to around 55 degrees.

2 - I leave the timer on the boiler tose timed postition and Grasslin programmer set to Constant - This way I am able to have the heating on timed.

If both are set to on then heating works on constant.

If I have the timer on the boiler set to off, then even if the Grasslin is set to on, the heating does not come on. The heating sign on the boiler comes on, the boiler fires, the temperature rises quickly on the boiler, it then turns off repeatedly. The radiators do not get warm.

It's quite confusing and needs looking at (don't take my word for it :disappointed:)

Would it be easier just to remove the timer on the boiler and only use the Grasslin?

3 - The pipe to the hot water cylinder seems to get hot everytime the heating is on constant.

4 - Sometimes the pressure on the boiler goes in to the red when heating is on.

Basically I am looking for an experienced engineer to service both my boiler and cylinder and get everything up and running properly.

I have Vaillant insurance but this covers if the boiler is at fault (just took this out hoping they would know what was wrong) but didn't realise other things were playing up as well.


Can someone please help. Please feel free to comment (it's really annoying). To be honest, I just want it all sorted.

Many thanks, I really appreciate it.

Hi, I have a Worcester 28i junior boiler that has started to lose pressure, only when using the central heating. When using hot water I have no issue, however, when running the heating the pressure drops. Im looking for some ideas on what could be causing this. I have no sign of pipe leaks...

Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
