Hi All,
My parents have had a Vokea Linea 24 for about 5 years now (Serviced every year). When they first had it installed they had several old rads on the system, but had all pipework replaced (don't ask me why they didn't have the rads done as well).
Shortly after installation they had problems with DHW, cycling hot and cold. An engineer replaced the secondary heat exchanger. A few months later another went, and so the radiators were replaced and the system power-flushed.
We thought this would solve things, however about a year later the same happened again and so another HE was fitted (at this point not covered by the guarantee).
Since then a maganaclean has been fitted to try and filter out any remaining debris, but alas today I find that the system is faulty again (cycling the hot water). This time unit doesn't seem to be getting up to temperature at all, no just when requiring DHW.
The unit is making a ticking sound then a couple of clicks, followed by more ticking and clicks.... and so on....
Is it that this unit is especially susceptible to debris? I have a Baxi 105HE fitted 2 years ago and haven't had a single problem. My parents have thrown so much money at trying to fix this... would the best recommendation be to replace the boiler, or will another boiler have the same problems?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
