Been to a a job today to alter some pipework after a large local company had fitted a new Worcester 15ri at the cost of nearly £3k and have left her with almost no heating.
Basically the system is dragging air in due to it being a bungalow with 8mm feeds on all the rads and the cold feed and exspansion connected in on the flow in the loft with about 300mm of expansion pipe. they just kept coming and bleeding the rads and then couple of weeks later it stopped working again.
There son got in contact with me and so far I have ran a new combined cold feed and expansion to the airing cupboard, along with fitting a auto air vent in the loft on the old cold feed.
flushed the system through all the rads and cleaned the header tank as it was almost full of brown sludge! flushed through all radiators and got it working.
have advised on a magna clean and some x800 running through the system as its heavily contaminated.
boiler was fitted less than 6 months ago. take a look at the quality of the water in it! this was the whole system water not just the first pull.
you can see in the loft pic the position of the cold feed! I cant believe the company in question have left a system this dirty and have not bothered to even offer to alter the pipe work.
although I get great satisfaction from sorting issues like this out!
