F.75 on a Vaillant ecoTEC appears when the pump starts and the pressure sensor does not register the rise it expects. Low system pressure is the first thing to rule out. Many Wednesbury owners find a top-up clears it.
If the pressure is fine, there are three other suspects. The pump may be sticking. There may be air in the system. The sensor itself may be failing.
The manual for your model confirms the meaning. Wednesbury homes on the ridge often have older systems with air that needs bleeding out.
With the system cold, check the gauge or the pressure shown on the display. If it is low, use the filling loop as the manual describes, then reset once.
Gurgling pipes or radiators that need bleeding often come with F.75. Bleeding them lowers the pressure, so top up again afterwards.
A pump that has sat still can stick. If F.75 appears after the boiler has been off for a while, mention that to the engineer.
Pump running and speed, the pressure sensor reading, and the expansion vessel charge. Usually a single part.
The engineer tops up the pressure, then listens to the pump and watches the sensor reading as it starts. That separates a pump fault from a sensor fault. Allow one to two hours.

No. The boiler will not run until it is happy with the water side. If you smell gas at any point, leave the house and phone 0800 111 999.
The pressure is leaking away. Look for drips at radiator valves and the outside pipe, and have the vessel checked.
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card. The reverse lists the work they are qualified to do.
Whether it is air, a pump or a sensor. Bleeding air is quick. A pump is a bigger job. The engineer confirms the cause, then quotes for it.
