Boiler Heat Exchanger busted

[Harvest Fields]

get worcester to supply you with a nex hex then get a local gas guy or worcester to fit as your in london rates can differ alot

Was about to say that. But looking at the picture that isn’t a bad deal from Worcester. Especially if they said they would change the pump also.

they wont as its not a worcester part eg boiler part

 

[Suzan]

Worcester wont replace an external pump as part of the fixed price repair

I might be being thick but is there a pump *inside* the boiler? Or is it just that pump near the hot water cylinder? PP guy said it was fine

Thing i didn't understand is when i turned it to vent mode (set in the middle) i had no idea where it was venting air from..... there's no escape valve...

In the loft.

In the loft.

Venting to the tank you mean? i.e. releasing air up to there? hmm that makes sense... couldn't go anywhere else

 

[Harvest Fields]

Looking at that pic. It is showing a BG install? That maybe why it wasn’t registered.

 

[Suzan]

Yeah the guy who fitted it was BG at the time

That’s a problem that goes back way further than recent work you’ve had done. Get Worcester to repair the boiler, get someone to powerflush the system and investigate why the problem occurred in the first place. I can’t see in the airing cupboard pic but is there a bypass and is it open? Also it might be that air is getting into the system.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

could of just airlocked in the first place so might be no fault

They haven’t sealed other side of pipe either to prevent the smell of gas escaping, which could lead to a false attendance for a gas “leak”.

Is it this thing? Dunno ...

He used this machine to make sure all gas had left... i guess...
