Hi All
Have a megatech HW cylinder heated by a Vailant ecotec 428 boiler.
I've noticed that the boiler's
water pressure increases from 1.0bar cold, to 1.6bar when hot - is that normal, or does that indicate a fault with the boilers expansion vessel (for example)
Also, if i turn the HW and CH off for a few days, when I turn back on, a small amount of water is discharged from...

thanks for your comments...the fire is in the lounge in front of the former open fire. it is sealed with the usual ally cover with a good updraught.
the gas engineer cut the pipe, bent it and capped the tap outlet...it is safe but disconnected. It has been used for years and the user is a
responsible person. I want to know if the rules demand FFD's on all gas fires whether existing or new. ...

He is one of the idiots who fits over sized
boilers! You dont need much experience to know 24 kW will heat a five bedroom detached house!
A typical semi needs about 11-12 kW for heating and you add 2 kW for the hot water cylinder.
So a 15 kW boiler is fine.
Its not just the maximum power thats relevant. If the boiler is too powerful then it does not modulate down far ...

My system is about a year old. I had to bleed my up stairs radiators last night as there was a lot of air in them. This morning the heating would not kick in. Hot water is fine. I noticed the presssure was down so have increased it to about 1.5 bars but the
heating system will still not fire up. The termostat is up and displays it is working. I have reset the system 3-4 times. Each time I reset...
