hi guys, need a bit of advice.
Got V 100w, 11 years old, no problems till now.
Missed a few services from 7 till 10 years old.
No hot water, ch , ok.
Got engineer, used before, but not on boiler, new kitchen rads, he has diagnosed plate exchanger blocked.
Diverter seems ok.
He serviced it before covid, was ok.
Waited a week, for new grommets !, but he,s busy, he came yesterday teatime, after another job he,s on to take it out and clean it.
Had a bit of a struggle to get it out, until he took top of diverter off, then ok.
He,d only changed one on V before .
Gave it a clean with hose, no chems , quite a lot of crap came out, but water still sloshing inside.
, said he thinks it,s still blocked ?
refitted, leaked, off on again, ok, but no change, worse, “” , boiler not igniting now, but was prior to him working on it !
Waiting for him to price new plate, and change, means no hw again for a while, but ! why was ignition ok before , and not now, has he done some thing, disturbed something electrically, flow switch, etc, or could the plate still be blocked ?
Wouldn’t,t stop ignition ?
Getting some out should have improved it not made it worse.
A new one won,t work if ignition isn’t, working now !
I thought get ignition then decide to change or not ?
He said he,d phone V eissmans for advice, doesn’t,t I still one with confidence !
Doubt he will they will just say, change it ,then chase problem ?
Wonder whether to change boiler, rather than throw money at it, as it,s 11 years old.
Lost a bit of faith in him, watching him perform ! Me nosy , and like to know what’s what, was an engineer.
Some engineers don,t like that.!!!
Is it drastic to change boiler for what I deem a fixable problem, , or get another engineer, he gave me the impression he didn’t,t want to repeat the job, hence the long wait, busy on
Better jobs ? This is just a side job for him at night.
Will try and phone V myself today, see if they can help.
Input appreciated.
Cheers in advance.
