Hi all,
I have a Worcester Bosch Combi boiler that needed the bottom assembly replaced (arrived and fitted as a single unit).
Since that has been done there are 3 new drops coming from the connections at the back where the parts connect through the frame. Basically the engineer has introduced a problem that was not there before and when they did the service 12 months ago, the engineer was happy with everything and did not comment on building corrosion.
I have had a look at the connections and it looks to me like you could dry out the boiler and paint those areas in hammerite, to form a seal over the bolt and frame.
Surely that has to be worth a try before the entire boiler is replaced. It is madness, all the parts are in top condition, including the bottom assembly, which is brand new, and because of a small amount of corrosion I am being told a new boiler is required.
Some experts out there must have patched up something like this before. Opinions please?
Cheers
