Baxi megaflow 24 HE

[Boeing]

Hello
I have looked through many threads and I need some more advice.
Baxi megaflow 24 HE

Explosive ignition:

basically the the boiler will or will not fire up with a loud bang enough to rattle units
for a while it is fine but after a day it gets progressively worse , had engineer out and it all checked good , although he did find a little moisture in fan , boiler is 6 years old , he said HE a little worn from the starting problem but should be fine , he fired it up and it behaved ,24 ours later and bangs got worse and then one very loud one and boiler shut down showing ei33
i opened it up to check everything and reset ,it is now running again with normal ignition , but for how long , he suggested a new boiler or possible gas valve replacement . I would really appreciate some advice on this as to which road I should go down

Hello James, Have you looked at the banner on the first page?

Get him back or a second opinion sadly we can't discuss gas issues with you. In my opinion I'd turn it off until it had been sorted.

This plumbing forum will not provide advice to anybody with regards to boiler repairs or any other form of gas plumbing without you first providing us with your Gas Safe Registration number in a thread - for very obvious reasons. If you're not qualified to touch gas, you should stay well clear of trying to!
