Keston 170 Condense problem

[danny1975]

Hi All
First post here so bare with me.
The pressure dropped on my Keston 170 boiler last night.
I have had this happen slightly in the past and have just topped it back up.
But now if i try to top it up i can hear water rushing straight back out.
I traced it back to the condensate pipe. So basically when i try and fill system it goes in from the fill point and is rushing straight back out the Condenstae pipe.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

new heat exchanger. better off replacing the boiler imo, it will continue to cost money. Parts are insanely expensive, boiler is a dog.
heat exchanger is about £700 asfair just for the part

Really? Do you know how much a new heat exchanger would cost? Thanks

hi yeh, just edited my reply, see above. About £700 just for the part. Then factor in 3-4hrs labour. then think if the fan goes in a couple of weeks thats another £400+ .. Seriously bin it.
