Hi everyone
New to the forum but found this topic after just getting home to find water coming through the ceiling....
I have a Worcester Greenstar 24i boiler, I located the leak to the flow unit Rob put a picture up of, it has lots of tiny pin holes in it!
Being a bank holiday I am a little stuck as isolated the mains supply to the house.
I have found the part at the local plumbcentre £26 which does not open til the morning.
The question is can I fix it??
It looks OK and i have the instruction manual, is it a DIY possible job and do I need to remove the whole assembly with heat exchanger/pump etc or can I just change the flow unit(87161063560)?
I am a marine mechanical engineer by trade and my hobbies are classic car restorations so have a good range of tools. I have done plumbing before but not worked on the boiler itself. Do I have to disturb the gas or just the water side?
Not trying to cut corners but do like to get stuck in provided it is safe.
Any help would be appreciated
Many Thanks
Dave
