The guy said he took the key out and its passing water, he's tightened the flow knob as tight as it can go but it's still ****ing water.

If its the newer type link that fits onto the valves on the jig, they have changed the filling link to a keyless one

Took key out and it's still filling ,

I'm not sure. I'm gonna go and have a look at it tomorrow. I literally just met the guy in plumbcenter today. I don't think its filling once he takes key out but will know more tomorrow.

I could well be the plate though. Will let you know

The guy wants it done by Friday but I can't get to him until tomorrow evening.. I was gonna try take a filling link with me just in case that what the issue is but maybe I'll just go have a look first.

Can't you isolate the filling link without shutting off the cold inlet? I know you can on some vaillants.

The old CDi had a reputation for pin-holing of the plate HEX.

Had a look at it tonight, his pumps gone. Released the pressure to 1.5bar. Closed off the filling link properly. He's gonna tell me if the pressure has risen by the morning, if so it'll need a new plate too. Told him not to bother and to get a new boiler as its a state. But he wants to change parts. Oh well. His money I guess.

easy way to tell turn cold water off and open hot tap if you see the pressure in the boiler go down pin hole in plate
