Boiler breakdown guidance

[dylski]

Hi guys, ive been in the industry for about 4 years now and ive done my fair share of boiler breakdowns, but it seems 50% of the time its hit and miss (for me anyway), especially if you dont have the boilers booklet. So i was just wondering if theres any type of basic guidance you could give as in a scenario of checks to go through when i arrive, but i know this changes with different boilers! or if theres any books on brakdowns or a plug in diagnostic like they use in cars (if theres not im going on dragons den with the idea dont worry!)

thanks in advance

Most modern boilers will require the instructions before you can fault find properly. Look at a NetBook or iPad etc. to keep instruction manuals on. I use gas installers workmate on my iPad.

WAG

Water
Air
Gas

It goes in that order. If you ain't got air you won't get gas etc

There is where we can discuss in more depth processes/tips for gaining knowledge in repairs.... Bit to open here IMHO

It's not about getting to know you as far as I'm concerned 'dylski' it's more about who is reading this now and in the future This forum is open to any tom-dick-Henrietta
