I have a Ferroli F30 combi boiler. When windy, the flame constantly blows out and reignites. I have been told that modern combi boilers rarely blow out, even when tested in 100mph winds. The flue is dual-concentric. Top exit, with a right angle 90 degree bend to take it horizontally through the house outer wall.
Ferroli F30 Combi keeps blowing out

Really appreciate your interest and thanks for the reply! The Flue terminates with the standard plastic spoked cowl that everyone else seems to have. The wall is exposed, with no internal or external corners nearby. Most plumbing and gas retailers so far have looked extremely blank when I tell them that my modern boiler blows out because of the wind. The only constructive comment so far is that perhaps the seals are wrong where the flue connects to the boiler.

i agree , a good service may sort it out , try disconnecting the wire next to the flame sensor (at the board ) see wot you get then

You'll find you get boiler lock out
Problem here is, badly adjusted burner pressure giving flame lift, therfor no flame rectification, burner drops out (FFD working) as there is a call for heat or hot water boiler re-ignites.
Hoptubtowers, call an engineer and he will check pressures.
IIIIIIIIII Thankyou
is it going out at the same time span intervals, eg every 30 secs or 60 secs? if so could be breathing in its own exhaust and starving its self of oxygen to burn. Check flue is fitted correctly and that exhaust part of flue is connected properly and hasn't 'dropped' out of retainer in outside cowl
