    Hi all,

    Have a vokera 16e

    filled it to 1.5 bar

    however when it tries to start, the usual 5 second startup begins, then theres a sort of hissing noise deep inside it and the pressure guage will vibrate a little, then i can here sort of soft popping noises from inside it, the pressure guage will suddenly jump all the way around to 3.5 and then the boiler just cuts out.

    Anyone any advice please?? house is freezing!! will i need service engineer and if not is there anything i can do?

    Sounds like the heat exchanger is blocked.

    Sorry no. Only a RGI can work on the boiler.
