Hi,
I've got a Vaillant VCW combi boiler. The pilot light on this ha started to put itself out several times a day - what seems to happen i the gas coming on when the boiler fires up (e.g. when you turn on a ho tap or the heating) occasionally puts out the pilot. I have insuranc cover whereby if the heating/hot water breaks my insurance company wil send someone to repair it; however, when I spoke to them on the phon they said they'd only do this if I first wait until the pilot ligh
*always* goes out when the boiler fires up. I therefore thought I' check if it's likely to be anything obvious/easily sorted.Have checked that the temperature the boiler's set to is appropriat for the (lousy) weather, and the only thing that looks slightly amis is that the pressure is down to just over 0.5 bar - this is above th
0.5 bar recommended minimum, but only *just*...is it worth trying t raise the pressure and seeing if this helps matters? And can this b done by just turning a valve marked 'filling valve' to 'open', or is i more complicated than that?Cheers,
Jo
