Help!
This problem started over a month ago and i have had an Engineer out on 4 different occasions. Initially i had no heating, the boiler was failing to ignite when used in hot water & central heating modes.
1st Visit: The Engineer repositioned the spark electrode although the ignition display indicator never lit. Working fine whe left.
2nd Visit: A week later same problem again, and again repositioned the spark electrode but left with a recommendation that the air pressure switch be repalced. At this point the ignition display indicator was still not lighting up when firing. and the firing mechanism intermittently turning on and off.
3rd Visit: Replaced the switch. When in use the same day intermittent problems again.
4th Visit: Concluded the problem lies withinthe control PCB as he seen a relay with looked defective, showed signs of wear. I am handy with electronics so i replaced the relay, and the still problem not solved.
My question: should i fork out another £150 to get the PCB and will this resolve the problem. I am not sure i can trust the engineers recommendations. I have spent so much already, is this a competence issue with the engineer?
