    i want to change the pressure gauge on my vaillant turbomax boiler, is it a case of draining the system, un screwing the water pump and changing the gauge over for a new one. Is that about right

    cheers Chris

Two pipes coming into boiler on right hand side have brass block valves with a small round recess. These two valves are linked with a stainless fill hose.

Inside the recess on each valve is a small slot, there is a "key" with the boiler but prob lost with the manual. The advantage of the key is its sized so you wont be poking it in the wrong place!

Using a screwdriver turn both slots throug 90 degrees, you will hear water running through. Sometimes one valve is left open so try a combination until the watert runs.

Keep an eye on the pressure gauge and dont let it get too high, if you have no idea of setting pressure head for about 1bar.

Pressure releif vavle is passing either remove and clean bore and rubber plunger or replace
OR the pressure in the boiler is increasing by plate heat exchanger leaking or filling loop passing water
OR boiler overheating and causing high pressues

Is it safe to run a Vaillant Turbomax Plus with the water gauge in red?

No, look for a small diameter pipe (1/2") supplying city water to the heater. On that pipe there should be a shut-off (make sure it is open), a back flow preventer (looks like a brass can with ribs) and a feed valve (looks like an upside down Ice Cream cone with a brass tab for a tai). Lift up on the brass tab to allow water to the boiler till the dial indicates Green. Sounds like this will need to be adjusted to keep the pressure in the boiler to manufacturers specifications.

Hi,i have a vaillant turbomax combi boiler,the radiator side is working well but when running hot tap the boiler kicks in for about 5 seconds ,hot water starts to flow then boiler cuts out,water runs cold...

Which turbomax, as there a two different models. The more modern one, with the brass CPL diverter valve, located at the front left of the boiler, was very prone sticking & jamming, this would restrict flow through the hot water circuit in the boiler, and cause cycling. Vaillant actually modified the diverter. You can identify, if it is the old type, as there is a very small hole in the middle of the diverter on the old ones, probable no more than 1mm-2mm wide. The modfied one, is much bigger approx 5mm wide. If old type, replace as this usally sorts the problem
