The pressure on my Vokera 24e boiler drops to the extent that I have to top up dailly. The guy who serviced it says that the auto airvent needs replaced.

In the estimate he quotes Vokera part no 4254 at a cost of £38 + 2 hours labour 0f £70 + vat. Toatal cost £130

I can source the part for under a tenner. Is this an easy enough part to fit myself?

To me its easy but then I do boiler repairs!

The quote is perhaps a little on the high side if its a "follow -on" from a boiler service but still not unreasonable.

We would have quoted £55 plus £13 totalling £68 !

so you are paddling through the room then :?:

cos the water is going somewhere ;)
 
I don't know where the water is going. It must be under the floorboards as no signs of water around the radiators.

Would I be best to get a leak sealer through the system at the same time?

Have you checked that it isnt coming out of the Pressure relief valve :idea:
Does the pressure go right up when the system reaches temperature?
