Alde header tank

[Kevin2306]

Hi

One for those of you who have alde central heating fitted?
Just been in the van topping up the heating fluid and noticed the header tank has a threaded neck. Should the tank have a cap fitted (similar to the set up on a car header tank)?
Alde website doesn’t show one.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Mine has a screw cap, which holds the pump in the header tank, however found this on Alde website, maybe it should have a cap on, check with your dealer.

Yes; where you have a boiler side mounted pump the cap is a simple cap.
There is a pump mounted in the cap where there is no boiler pump used.

If your installation has a boxed in header just check the cap has not dropped down inside, assuming it could.

Thanks both
I have removed the external housing and it’s not in there, I suspect it was removed when the van was dealer stock.
Can’t find one listed on the alde site (apart from the type with built in pump) mine is a remote pump. I will email alde customer services and see what they can offer.

The dealer you bought from should provide a replacement cap if yours has been removed.
Remember your contract is with the dealer, not Alde.

Also, if you bought from the dealer, even if it was a stock van, if he missed this , what else has he missed on the PDI, or removed to satisfy another customer????

I appreciate that, want to get my ducks in a row before approaching them.

Thanks
