Worcester 24cdi Combi Boiler Help

[runner20k]

HI

I am going to get an engineer to take a look at my boiler shortly but want to ensure that i am not being ripped off as it has happened in the past. So any information greatly received.

The boiler is no longer supplying hot water to the taps, When the taps are turned on the light comes on on the boiler and it appears to fire up but the water from the tap is either stone cold or luke warm. The rads are getting hot and work OK but they are on all the time regardless of whether the timer states on or off the only way to turn them off is to turn the boiler completely off and turn back on. But after 30 mins or so the boiler kicks in and starts heating the rads continuously.

The pressure gauge is reading 0, if i pressurize the system up to the 1.5 bar as recommended we get hot water from the taps for a very short time then it goes cold. The pressure only lasts for around 4-5 hours then goes back down to 0. Cannot see any signs of a leak etc.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. don't want an engineer to come in and say the boiler is scrap if it is repairable.

Cheers

Mark

mark must have water out side , where you prv pipe is ! get engineer to check it its a easy diagnose

To me it seams as if you have more than one problem. 1: pressure dropping 2: boiler running when it's not ment to. Don't be surprised if your engineer finds two problems. Good luck hope it all ends well.

This boiler needs GSR engineer to service it, and maintain a certain part, you will need 2 further parts to complete the repair, a good gsr eng will know

You need a gsr in to look at your boiler. We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers for your own safety.

Please go to Gas Safe Register | Ensure your gas engineer is registered. or post a thread in the 'I'm looking for a plumber / gas engineer' section of these forums remembering to include your location. [DLMURL="http://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/im-looking-plumber-gas-engineer/"]I'm looking for a Plumber or Gas Engineer[/DLMURL]

If you are gsr please increase your post count to 10+ then send a pm to either Gas man or Redsaw who will then check you and then give you access to the gsr private forum.

Thank you.
