Anyone managed to lever Vaillant to fix this issue? Surely if it’s vibrating the pipe work eventually it’s going to cause cracks in the solder joints.
Just seen the videos for the new arotherm pro. They’ve managed to get a 7kw into a 3.5/5 chassis. I’ve still got the noise issue that no one at Vailla...
