I'm sorry. The answer is not what I was hoping for.

Sometimes you get a clicking noise if the pipework is restricted in some way, and rubbing as it expands.

Without hearing it I have no idea.

Hi

It's when it stops you should worry!!

They are a mechanical timer. If/as/when it does pack up you might be able to fit a digital one in the same place. Check the Vaillant web site.

the pcb board need changing i expect, like ours. it come on when the water or heating is turned on, then it would start clicking and it worked intermittedly. they are about £100 odd plus labour.
