"Vaillant boilers are prone to pretty much the same issues as any other leading brands of boiler.
As long as a boiler is correctly installed and maintained then issues will be minimal, as with all installations.
Vaillant are one of the leading brands of boilers, and I would recommend them"

"Vaillant are outstanding boilers. If not the best on the market. The trouble with these and many others is water quality, if the system is clean and has corrosion inhibitor added and maintained then they will be more or less fault free. The only gripe I have is the water pressure sensor which will give F75 fault code. Very simple repair and should be less than £100 total"

"In general very good reliable boilers will occasionally have a F75 fault which 9-10 times will be a sensor issue but resolved very quickly & easily"
