went to job today to fit a boiler in a studio, whilst there customer asked if i would have a look at the system boiler in the house that he wasn't happy with.
Anyway it was a gloworm (hxi possibly) took the combustion cover off and saw that all the seal had perished. plastic attachment to flue melting. all insides of boiler blackened, what a mess!
Cust says it is 5 or 6 yrs old! I'm not familiar with the boiler, have never fitted one or serviced one! Is this a common fault gents?? Gloworm are coming out to it as he contacted them as i turned it off! They are putting it on a 12 month contract! If it is a manuf problem will they fix for free!?
apart from the obvious replacements req'd (flue flange, seal) is there anything else that is likely to have to be replaced.
Thanks in advance!
