Combi Boiler Misbehaving
In message 3f152ac0.181950000@news, Grand Mainger
writes Hi, I'm having troubles with my old Saunier Duval (I know, I know...) combi boiler: Here are my questions: 1) what is the problem? What's the boiler 2) can I fix it myself (I've pretty near no experience) ? Difficult to say 3) can you recommend a heating engineer in East London / London ? One of my customers specialises in Saunier Duval repairs Bill Jenkins All Seasons 0208 527 0093 He's in E4 He also knows what he's doing. Thanks folks ! GM -- geoff |

Combi Boiler Misbehaving
I have the same symptoms.
I think maybe it's a flow divert valve not working, and when the hot water does work (CH on), it is just referred heat from the CH. Gas guy said something about an additive in the supply gas causing diaphragms to deteriorate or stick. Could this be true? Tony |

If it's an additive in the gas supply, that gas guy told you wrong. The diverter valve (or hot water flow sensor/diaphram is nothing to do with the gas supply so it matters not what additives they put in the gas. If he was talking about additives in the CH system - that's a different matter, and he *could* be right. I've had a diaphram go in my old combi in the 9 years I had it. AFAIK it had no inhibitor added - certainly the colour of drained water from the system shows no sign of inhibitor (I bled the rads fairly early on in the system's life). Velvet Your point makes sense. This is a 2 year old Ariston boiler. No inhibitor either. The Ariston boiler 'sings' at the flue outlet, quiet but high pitched, which'd put me off buying another one.
