Green Star CDI pump replacement

[bsr]

Hi

Does anyone know the FD numbers that require a PCB upgrade with a pump replacement on a 30 CDI?

My plumber says the pump has a slow leak on the casing. He explained certain FD numbers needed a PCB replacement with the new pump and was supposed to get back to me with a quote but is now on two weeks leave.

It's a nearly 20 year old boiler with original hex, block, fan etc so If I need to do PCB and pump then I suspect it'll be the wrong side of £500 and it's better to replace the boiler.

Thanks

Board and pcb on them all now. Unless you can get hold of the original pump. EBay recycled boiler parts. Cdi is the best Worcester boiler going

Thanks @gazfen so you would replace both? Do you think my estimate of £500 is about right?

I'm just a bit concerned that I do this and then next month the hex goes or something like that.

Why not ring Worcester for a one off repair ? £290 iirc

That's a good idea, forgot about fixed price repairs!

Get the second hand pump and swap it 40 minute job.

parts are not far of that, think you’ve gotta replace the harness too

Just remember there is no such thing as a refurbished pump..just used and secondhand and a lottery.

How do I know if the pump is old enough to be used with the original PCB? On eBay they are just shown as CDI pumps.

Am I just looking for one that's not labelled as ERP?
