Any advise please.

Hi folks, We have a Potterton Gold 28he combi boiler which has now stopped working with a E160 error message - Fan fault. We called in an engineer who told us it was the fan. After ordering one and replacing the fan the boiler worked for a day then stopped again with the same E160 error...
