In November our Linea range Vokera boiler started playing up. At first, it was intermittently and then started happening all the time when the heating was on or when the hot water was turned on. I rang up a local boiler repair guy, who came out to have a look at it a few days later. The day before he came out it stopped showing this error code, which in the booklet says a fan/flue problem. We told the repair guy this and he just serviced the boiler instead. He did mention before he left about the temperature sensor being on its last legs but that he wouldn't replace it there and then. We thought this was a bit odd as it would have saved him coming out again but everything seemed fine again with the boiler.
Just before Christmas the boiler started erroring with the same code again. We left it until the second week in January and rang the repair man who couldn't get to us until the following week. He then had to cancel and is now coming at the weekend. We've been managing with sneaking the boiler on for spurts along with a heater but the hot water has totally stopped now and as soon as we turn the heating on the boiler error's at us after a minute or two. My husband and I know nothing about boilers so I was wondering if anyone could give me some knowledge about what our problem could potentially be? And how much it could roughly cost? I think the service with this repair man set us back £55 in November and he couldn't give me a price over the phone as he needs to check exactly what the problem is. The boiler is around 11 years old I believe. Could we possibly be in need of a new boiler? I'm hoping this isn't going to be a big expensive job as we are quite skint at the moment but it definitely needs doing with us having 2 little ones in the house and another due in a few weeks!
Any insight would be fantastic
