Hello

As title says, need to find a good combi engineer. Have a perplexing fault on my heating system and would like a second opinion. Boiler is a Glow worm Beacom 30c.

Symptoms / what's wrong
 
Hello

Its a combi, hot water working fine, CH only getting rads luke warm at best.
I suspect the pump as I can stop it with firm pressure of screwdriver on the armature.

Not GSR by the way but electrical/ mechanical engineer, will understand if no advice forthcoming.

Regards Gary

sorry to say as most pumps are internal of the case of the boiler and you have taken the case off, as your not gas safe you cant do this (naughty naughty :) )

but sounds like either pump or depending on system sludge if this has only just started i would say pump but as i have said above sorry to say you cant touch it
 
Been a naughty engineer over 40 years, to late to change now :D

Thanks for reply have a Grundfos on order

Cheers

have you got a MagnaClean/filter on the system ?
 
No , spent last Sunday removing all the rads and hosing them through whilst abusing them with my rubber mallet, got a fair bit of gunk out, Are these filters any good?
