Worcester Bosch 30Si broken- another worcester boiler that uses the same jig?

[a03227]

Hi All,
Having a nightmare with fitting a second hand boiler (never again)!
The heating engineer has fitted the 30Si jig & boiler. Numerous concerns with the boiler and so was wondering if there's another worcester boiler that uses the same jig as the 30SI that I could drop on to minimise the costs?
Any advice would be very welcome and much appreciated.
Thank you.

How old is the 30si, and what are the issues.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your time and reply.
The Si is possibly 5-8 yrs old. It's a mark 3. It needs s new heat exchanger, pressure gauge and pump lead. I'm not convinced it's going to be reliable hence I'm thinking to replace the front (and keep the jig if possible). Hot water is intermittent.
Thank you again for your time and interest in helping me.

If that's all it needs, a plate hex, pressure gauge and wiring harness, I'd get it repaired. Your only going to pick up another 2nd hand dog of a boiler. All new Worcesters now use different jigs.
Edit, while your RGI is stripping it down, replace the electrodes and burner gasket.

Thank you very much.
Is this something I should ask Worcester to fix for the fixed fee. I've heard for £250 they will fix it ?

Does anybody know if the 30Si compact use the same jig as the old 30Si model?

No they're different. But there won't be much alterations to the pipework.
