The most common Chaffoteaux Talia Green System problems

The faults most likely to send a Chaffoteaux Talia Green System into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
08 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system is too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (usually a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.Open the valves to allow mains cold water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly to stop the inflow of water.

02
1 03 High DIY-safe

Your boiler is struggling to move water through the system, likely due to low water pressure or a blockage.

What to try first

Check your boiler pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, use the filling loop to top it up to 1.5 barEnsure all radiator valves are fully openCheck if your central heating pump is running or if it is stuck and needs a manual restart

03
1 04 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that water is not flowing through the system correctly, which is preventing it from heating your home safely.

What to try first

Check your central heating pressure gauge to ensure it is between 1 and 1.5 barIf the pressure is low, use the filling loop to top it up to the correct levelEnsure all radiator valves are fully openReset the boiler using the reset button on the control panel

04
1 05 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that water is not flowing around your heating system properly, so it has shut down to prevent damage.

What to try first

Check your boiler pressure gauge and top it up to 1.5 bar if it is below 1.0 barEnsure all radiator valves are fully openCheck that your external heating system pump is running and not seized

05
1 06 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that water is not moving around your heating system properly, which has caused it to stop working to prevent damage.

What to try first

Check the system pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; if it is below 1 bar, use the filling loop to top it up to 1.5 bar.Ensure all radiator valves are fully open to allow water to circulate freely.Reset the boiler using the reset button on the control panel.

06
1 07 High DIY-safe

Your boiler is struggling to pump water around your heating system effectively, usually due to low pressure or trapped air.

What to try first

Check your boiler's pressure gauge and top it up to between 1 and 1.5 bar using the filling loop if it is too low.Bleed your radiators to remove any trapped air that might be blocking the flow.Ensure all radiator valves are fully open to allow water to circulate freely.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Chaffoteaux shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
