Vailllant ecomax gas boiler low water pressure DIY

Short vid showing you how to get the low water pressure gauge back up to 2 bar when the flame won't light. Very easily fixed using the two filling loop taps underneath (either end of the flexi pipe)

[@saraspence2925]

You are amazing. Thank you so much for your generosity in posting this. No-one would show me what to do to get my hot water and heating back on and I just don't have the money to keep calling out engineers. You described it perfectly. One very happy lady!

[@qiandavid3943]

Thank you sososososo much my friend, truely life saver! I tried to fix it for last two days, tried to find someone fix it but they told me not until next Wed. will be available to help me.... I fixed it in 5 mins after your vedio!!!! I can appreciate no more than I can express. Thank you so much!!!

[@sabausman526]

Your a life saver, I've been waiting for the council to come out. Typical on Christmas day this happens🙄🙄🙄 I just randomly checked TH-cam put in F.25 and your video came up. Thank you we have heating and hot water now x

[@ebxneezrgoode]

You absolute legend. Video fixed the boiler and gave us hot water on Christmas Day. I owe you a beer!!

[@clairebird1451]

You are the best! Thought I'd be without hot water all weekend. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@MegaJamess123]

Thank you brother! There's hundreds of quid I'm not shelling out

great vid - this is my boiler too. I've changed the diverter v/v easy, isolation v/v to the C.H. flow&return. the heat-exchanger..this was easy enough but i ended up undoing another pipe to get much needed spanner access BUT put the clip back the wrong way, that was the only issue...when i cracked open the stopcock SLOWLY, 1/4 turns all good, then decided to open a bit more BIG MISTAKE, tsunami flooded the fan and the bathroom...ended up having to change the fan too, all from a simple mistake witht he clip and not having someone else to run downstairs to the stop-cock. so basically you can do loads yourself.

Thanks for this. Very useful. My house felt very cold, and the radiators weren't coming on. I've done this before a few times, but this time the pressure gauge remains on low? There was a rush of water I heard, and then nothing and the needle is in the same (low) position. Guess it's time to get someone in? The good news is that while I was messing about the boiler fired up, and now we're warm again...

Thank you - saved me a fortune - fixed boiler instantly

[@haldenwestcott9352]

Thank you very much - got the old boiler working!

[@neiallswheel]

you are quite welcome :)
this is just a temporary fix. there is likely to be an underlying problem causing it

[@arjd]

Only boiler engineers who charge £100 for a visit are disliking this

[@Ilovetosingem]

Nice one, sorted. I think you'll find that the loop has to be topped up every so often because of evaporation etc. This is normal and nothing to worried about. Cheers Singem.

[@mzaccolo]

Thanks mate! I returned home after a week of and the house was so cold... You saved me. Thanks again

[@sandraD3971]

[@nickcox8342]

Cheers mate, worked a treat.

[@Rockstars-Gig-Memorabilia]

Thanks. What a life saver...

[@bobbobson6137]

Thanks for this mate. Seems to be back up and running.
I think my pressure dropped when I'd taken a radiator off to paint behind it (Could that be true?)
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@gideonwilkins6154]

Yes. If you’ve drained a rad or two to paint behind then it takes a bunch of water out of the system which needs topping up.

[@HANNAHPUNKBABE]

Brill video very helpful and to the point x

[@lilymac1948]

That was so helpful, thank you!!!!

[@lunivilleentertainment236]

You know your stuff. Cheers mate

[@nigew25]

Just had ours serviced. Corgi guy said no problems. Now got less than 0.5bar pressure! We have hot water, but heat going to radiators. I followed your instructions on the video, but this has not moved the pressure gauge at all. Do you have any other ideas I could try?

[@mikeyt8704]

thanks a lot, saved us £30 :D

[@zhadowzmajor]

I've got a ecomax 613/2e and my filling loop is above the boiler

[@alistairdollente3029]

You are the man!!!

[@magsdoneit1068]

[@mkghostface]

thank you sir

[@warrendavidson7452]

Thanks very much mate

[@harpreetb5685]

Lifesaver thanks so much for this!!

[@jerryrawlings8885]

What if the tap is stuck? I can't turn mine

[@neiallswheel]

Jerry Rawlings put an adjustable spanner on it, they are stiff, they're used so in-often. If its easier unscrew the plastic lever, and turn it ( on & off ) hope this helps

[@salmankhalid9196]

Helpful

[@OGzMicro]

You legend!

[@robynmartin8387]

This is a terrible video I can not see what tap you are turning 😮
