"Explosion ignition" and high bar pressure during use. Saunier Duval System 400

[kinlungchan]

New ignition system installed. A click before the gas fires back up and silence. Operating for 2hrs and no loud clatter. Can't believe how quite the operating noise is...

Good thing about the internet and forums like this is that you can push the Engineer to fix problems... with some basic understanding and examples.

This engineer was a good lad though his enthusiasm to investigate the problem wasn't there at the start but he did prevail. Maybe British Gas aren't that bad hahah

Also no extra cost for time fixing and component. This was a continuation of a paid 'service' to the boiler.

Cheers for feedback 'gasmarc'

get him to check the charge in the expansion vessel when he comes back 1 bar static to 3bar when hot is quite alot.

no problem ,if BG are advertising this great service avail of it if you want to save a fortune further down the like , I agree with plumberdarren and also ask him to check the automatic air vent has no signs of leaks and is not weeping, good luck

It's now reading just over 2 bar after 5hrs in operation.

It was £50 for a one of service, it just so happens that i mentioned the increase in noise after the service.

I'm guessing they usually charge for the extra time and cost of components but this guy was a goody

So far so good. *Touch wood*
