I have a Baxi solo 3 60PF on a conventional gravity fed system. I have a problem where the boiler didn't ignite at all. I have had a corgi registered guy out and he has replaced the pcb, fan (said it was heavily worn). Now been getting a problem where the boiler run for about 5 mins then starts to cut out every 5 seconds. So he replaced the microswitch for the fan. He now thinks that there is a problem with the flue. With the exhaust fumes getting back into the boiler, because it stayed alight when the front cover was opened slightly, I have now found that even if you do this and run it for another 10 mins it still goes out and re-lights every few seconds. Any ideas as to what the fault is?

if there is even a small chance of a flue break DO NOT RUN the boiler with the cover open/off
you will die
Anyhoo could well be a flue problem, call potterton/baxi direct and get them out on their fixed fee thing

I had the exact same problem on a Solo3 PFL and it turned out to be the fan restrictor as baxpoti says. I was told but Baxi agent engineer that a batch had been made ever so slightly the wrong size.
The Baxi agent engineer just removed it totally
