Expanssion Vessel - water coming out

[neeiro]

Hi,

I've got a Ideal Logic 30 - I was cleaning out the trap as it sometimes gets clogged up and tried the pressure on the expansion vessel and only water came out (boiler was switched off but not drained) is this normal or do I need to call out a plumber to change the Expansion Vessel?

edit: the boiler seems to be working ok but sometimes the pressure drops to 0 if it hasn't been used for a long period. If its in regular use its fine.

Thanks

Viessmans brill, if installed right, first class boiler.

Just had an update from Ideal and they are turning down the repair as it not economically viable (they won't charge for the call out) - so they are going to give us a ring back and see if they can do us a deal on a new boiler, I said ok but we have been put off as this one has only lasted 7 years.

The engineers said it's working fine at the moment and its safe.

So I think our new plan is see what Ideal offer us, if its not a great deal we'll start looking for a new boiler and hope this one can see us through until we can afford a new one.

Ideally (no pun intended) we would like a boiler than links in well with the evohome system.

Ideal have come back with the following prices, just the boiler, no fitting

(I think she said B Pack Flue??)

Ideal Logic C30 - B pack flue - kerb side Delivery - 2 year Warranty = £662.40 (inc Vat)
Ideal Logic+ C30 - B Pack flue - kerb side Delivery - 7 year Warranty = £728.40 (inc Vat)
Ideal Logic Max C30 - B Pack flue - kerb side Delivery - 10 year Warranty = £806.40 (inc Vat)

What cost would fitting be?

Any will do the job to be fair the key to a long life for your new boiler is regular servicing as any small issues get sorted before any serious damage, prices quoted seem reasonable fitting can be around £600 to £1000 depending on the existing system layout . Kop

Just an update, think we are going to pass on the logic offer and save for a different make which will work better with the Evohome system.
