Evening all
I have a Main combi 24he boiler the heating and dhw works fine
Over the past week or so the boiler has developed a leak this is coming from the flow diverter where the 6 screws screw the end plate to the unit. I have had a gas safe plumber along today to have a look ,he says because the unit is sealed for life he cannot repair the leak and I would need a new unit £166 plus £140 labour to repair it???.
Now it may just be me being paranoid but I do get the feeling I am about to be ripped off. Its true I am not a plumber just a lowly diesel fitter but to me if a unit has 6 large screws on it surely they should come out and maybe a new seal could be installed? Im sure on my old boiler I had a similar situation and the plumber did fix the leak with some sort of repair kit
What do you guys think does this seem right to you?
any help or advice is much appreciated
Thanks
