Chaps, Im running out of steam on this one..
Trianco Eurostar 90 (Sterling burner)
Low level balanced flue.
Plastic tank, no apparent water ingress.
Called out as boiler packed up - motor seized. Changed motor.
Called out about 6 months ago as it kept locking out. Didnt find much wrong with it visibly but oil supply was weak, checked line and cleaned out tank filter, replaced fire valve as that seemed to be stemming flow.
Called out couple of weeks later as locked out again, wouldnt start. EBi blown. Changed Ebi and of course control box and photocell (shorter MZ770). All good.
Called out a month ago as intermittently locking out again. FGA good but pump pressure at 6 bar. Increased pump pressure and set air to match - FGA textbook. Removed snorkel and sealed hole (plenty of ambient air).
Called back last week as it keeps happening still. Custard noticed locks out when hot......changed coil.
Called back this morning, same thing.
Now, I havnt charged for last 2 visits as this is crazy (and custard 5 minutes from my house). I have charged before and by now it would have been cheaper to buy a complete RDB from HWOS and chuck that on.
So in summary:
New coil, control box, EBi, p/cell, motor. Pump pressure stable at 8 bar. FGA textbook. Air intake clean. Only thing thats tumbling around my mind is the pump filter could be a bit bunged up, will check.
Any ideas gratefully accepted (begged for!!!)
Thanks
