so far, the "Nice, intelligent DIY'ers", haven't come up with a decent answer to your question yet. the experts are still waiting to give their EXPERT opinion for free.
had you said you had bought a boiler with a manual in a foreign language in the first place, I might have not been so rude (to which I apologise), I might just have fell off my seat with laughter. rob
It's not possible to verify qualifications on here or any other newsgroup
- and as such any advice should be treated with caution. In some ways, it needs as much experience to know if the advice you've been given is sound as to do the job anyway.
It's pie in the sky to hope that people won't post ridiculous questions - it's often the only contact they'll make with the group.
IMHO, the standard of help given here is far superior to most other groups where advice is asked for.
You could tell Worcester to add this to their's. No mention of bypass arrangements at all. I fitted an automatic bypass anyway, as it is S-Plan-Plus with loads of TRVs as well, so I thought it could use one. It certainly helps when it is down to heating only 1 or 2 radiators. Reduces noise considerably.
The only hint in the manual is that it recommends leaving one radiator open if TRVs are fitted, but doesn't give a reason. No mention in the case of S Plan, where all circuits can be closed off.

of listing 3 of worcester's boilers which list a by-pass in its description. if you have failed to read the instructions properly, theres a good chance you have fitted a by-pass that was not needed. or have I chosen a different boiler to the one you describe ?. If there is no mention of a by-pass in your manual, it is YOUR responsibility to tell worcester, Like I said previously in the thread, MOST if not all give the info, (which means not all, nearly all). And ALL the 6 manuals I have , all give the info. rob

It is a Greenstar 28HE System. The installation instructions are almost identical to the 27HE System, the manual of which is available on the web. A global search for the word "bypass" turns up no hits, not even in the parts list.
I was surprised to find no mention of it at all. For the record, it works better with one as it reduces the rushing noise through my 15mm pipes when set up properly (around 0.3bar seems to work just fine).
