Andy,

Got a problem with my boiler. I've had it looked at by a mate of a mate who's only just qualified and after fitting a new femister and a diverter valve it's still causing us trouble and he's said he can't go any further on it He's recommended getting proper Vaillant engineers in, but at £150 call-out and God-knows what an hour, plus parts prices to make Bugatti owners wince I'm not keen

It's a Vaillant Turbomax 824e (I think) and is now showing fault codes F27, which may be "Incorrect sensing of flame - Flame detector defective" and F62 which may be "Gas valve shutoff delay - Gas valve leaking or electronics defective" according to some Googling.

Is this something you (or anyone you know) can sort or am I looking at a huge bill ? It gets this one chance to be fixed and if it fails again within 2 years it gets ripped out and replaced with something else.

Can you help please

 

Now then,ill just fire up my work laptop and see what I can find out.Give me 5 minutes!
P.S was that you that rung me earlier???
Andy

 

Thanks for the prompt response mate


No, I didn't call you, haven't got your number but do recall seeing it somewhere on here

 

my number is 07877234252,I could write what ive found out but it would be much easier to talk on the phone......give me a call!
Andy

 

Brilliant service Andy, thanks very much.

Whilst we were speaking the sodding thing seemed to start w*rking properly, but if it starts playing up you'll be the first person I call. I've never had a plumber call me back and be so immediately helpful

When we get over the turmoil of our new arrival I'll be in touch about that other work I want doing.

Thanks

 

Dave it's a fermistor (thermistor !) LOL

Not a problem dave,fingers crossed it will continue to behave itself! I not just give me a ring
Andy
