Pressure Gauge Vaillant Turbotec Plus VMW ES 21 245 4 5 R3 Ref. 180982
The pressure gauge Vaillant Turbotec Plus VMW ES 21 245 4 5 R3 is a component that measures and controls the pressure of the boiler circuit. Its function is to ensure that the pressure is maintained at appropriate levels for the operation of the boiler. When this part fails, you may notice incorrect readings, which can cause the boiler to lock out due to a false lack of pressure or not regulate the temperature properly. This pressure gauge is compatible with models such as VMW 21/245/4-5, VMW 226/3-3, among others. It is replaced when it shows anomalies in the readings or affects the performance of the boiler.

How to check if ref. 180982 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 180982. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the pressure gauge 180982 resolves.
The manometer shows the pressure of the boiler circuit. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler tries to ignite, heats up a bit, and then shuts down with an overtemperature warning.
Cause: The capillary aquastat detects an incorrect temperature because the capillary is bent, crushed, or has lost fluid.
Check the copper capillary path for bends or crushes before replacing the entire part.
- 02
The pressure gauge does not move, neither when filling nor when bleeding water from the circuit.
Cause: The Bourdon tube that translates pressure into needle movement is blocked by scale or by a shock.
Slowly load the circuit while watching the needle; if it does not react, the pressure gauge is faulty.
- 03
The pressure gradually drops over days without any visible leaks in the boiler or radiators.
Cause: There may be an internal leak in the fitting area of this part, difficult to see because the water evaporates when heated.
Dry the area around the fitting well, place some kitchen paper, and check the next day to see if it has become damp again.
- 04
The boiler pump does not start when it should, although the rest of the boiler operates normally.
Cause: The aquastat contact that gives the start command does not close because it is worn out or miscalibrated.
Manually force the pump to start from the boiler's service menu, if allowed, to rule out that it is another component.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
