Is the Vaillant VCW boiler still working after 28 years?
Built like a tank, and robust, these boilers are still working reliably after 28 years. I have numerous customers in London with these boilers. ALL PARTS are still available, and easily sourced. The biggest issue is finding someone who can actually fix it. These boilers are complex and utilise sophisticated hydraulics in their operation.
What causes a Vaillant boiler to not ignite?
THe fault you describe is an ignition lock-out or a safety lock-out and involves the gas and ignition systems. You need an engineer who is familiar with vaillant boilers.. I can answer this question…

Why is my Vaillant turbomax not igniting automatically?
Vaillant Turbomax VUW 242E/282E not igniting automatically? The boiler does not ignite when in auto mode in either CH or DHW. The lockout indicates and when it is reset, the boiler fires up ok in both modes.
