Boiler Heat Exchanger busted

[Harvest Fields]

Hmm I guess. Hopefully it's just a bunch of airlocking/some sludge and a good clean with chemicals left to descale the system will be enough. Is flushing the system a hard thing to do (not power flush)? Shall we clean the F&E tank manually (remove any sludge before it's drained?)? Not entirely sure the full process A-Z of cleaning the system with chemicals (something like sentinal x300)?

X800 will be what is needed.

You’re going to spend more doing a proper flush and repairing the boiler and installing a magnaclean etc

Flush is going to be needed either way though right? Boiler repair is £315 and magnaclean is £90 + £50 fitting (from my gas dude), that's £450. New boiler + flush is gonna be at least double that i'd assume...

Boiler is 5 years old. Yeah Bosch said they'd replace for free.

If it wasn’t registered that explains a lot.

Tbh it was my mum's place and she didn't bother to register it... I didn't know it wasn't registered sadly... but luckily it didn't matter

Not your Mums responsibility to register the boiler.

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

 

[Scott_D]

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

She was the landlord..... Hence why I've registered it now as I'm the owner 😵

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.

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
