What causes the Vaillant F.66 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's 'brain' can no longer talk to the screen on the front of the unit. The most common reason is a loose or damaged data cable inside the boiler, or a component failure on one of the circuit boards caused by age and heat. Because these parts cannot share information, the boiler stops working to prevent you from running it without any visual control.

Typical repair cost £180-350 (including labour)
