How to fix Viessmann Vitodens 050-W fault code E119

What does the Viessmann Vitodens 050-W E119 fault code mean?

The E119 fault code indicates low water pressure within the Viessmann Vitodens 050-W boiler system. This can lead to insufficient heating and may cause the boiler to shut down to prevent damage.

Common Causes

  • Low Water Pressure: This can occur due to leaks in the system or insufficient water supply.
  • Faulty Pressure Relief Valve: A malfunctioning valve may allow water to escape, leading to a drop in pressure.

Can I fix it myself? (DIY)

You can attempt to restore the water pressure by locating the filling loop and adding water to the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1-1.5 bar. If the issue persists or if you suspect a leak, it is advisable to call a Gas Safe Engineer.

Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)

The estimated cost for repairing low water pressure issues, such as replacing a pressure relief valve, is around £150-£250. This includes parts and labour, as the valve is a common component that may need replacement.
