Have had a long problem with pressure in my WB Greenstar HE plus combi - been losing pressure since last October. At first it was only every week or so that I had to top it up, but now it is every day almost.
Had British Gas out on HOmecare plan - they reset the expansion vessel and then checked the rads - no leaks found but they did put some of that sealant stuff into the system. 2 weeks later still no joy.
I had noticed that when the boiler is off, every so often a lot of water comes out the condensate pipe - like a real lot - i put a bag on it and it collected about a pint and a half in 2 hours - while the boiler was off (ok, maybe I ran some hot water at some point for a minute or so but nothing more)
Told this to Engineer when he came back and he said it sounds like the heat exchanger has gone - so they are going to replace it. Does this sound like the correct cure? The thing is, they have said a power flush is necessary at the same time which costs £££!!!
Any advice please?!?!?
Thanks
