We have a 2 year old Ideal Isar HE35 combi boiler. Yesterday, I noticed that the pressure has dropped to zero and then saw that the boiler had a slow leak from the bottom. This is on the left hand side. I re-pressurized the system and, being an idiot, couldn't switch the filling loop off. As a result, the pressure meter went to maximum and water started pouring out of the bottom of the boiler casing. I closed the filling loop and this slowed back to the slow drip.
Today, a plumber looked at it and said he couldn't find any problem and that the heat exchanger would need replacing. He presumed the exchanger is cracked. Because of what happened when I over-pressurized the system, I think it might be a leaking pressure release valve. Does this seem likely? Since the plumber's visit, the boiler doesn't work at all and the display flashes H and F.
Any ideas would be great as we can't afford the £600 they are quoting! Thanks!
