It could only happen to us Boiler has shut down E110 I think
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The hardware fitting work has now been done but the boiler is refusing to fire up correctly so a second Baxi engineer is currently helping with the diagnostics..................... ::) ::) ::)
Update:-
It's had a load of new parts including the main heat exchanger & condensate tank assy.
7.5 hours after first arrival & it's sorted.
Thank goodness for boiler insurance that includes servicing a snip at £17.15 pcm on a 9 year old condensing boiler..8) 8) 8)

I knew it would end up a nightmare for them. Can you see why I avoid doing them, had a few late finishes over the years. Hopefully you will be good for a few years now.
Bryanj:
Just had to put a flow valve into our potterton he15, it had a new ebay one 6 months ago along with heat exchanger but O ring to outlet pipe started leaking and there is no part number plus nobody knows the size!! could only get the baxi one localy at short notice at 3x pattern price
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Boiler stopped working again yesterday fault code E158 - condensate system again.
Fixed this afternoon by Baxi engineer - poor connection on condensate pump.
Baxi Condensing Boiler is 9 years old this year with the current BBU 15 HE (lounge back boiler unit) now out of production.
I suspect getting boiler breakdown/service insurance cover might be unavailable once it's ten years old.
We are limited as to where we can fit a replacement normal condensing boiler as the lounge unit is in the centre of the house using a special plastic double chimney arrangement to draw in fresh air in from the chimney top.
I do not want a boiler unit in either of our upstairs bedrooms or in the bathroom (too small anyway.) The front lounge /room is not really suitable that leaves only the kitchen (major rework)or at a push the downstairs toilet.
Only option I can see would be in the loft but access for servicing is less than ideal not to mention all the pipework being re-routed.
Aside from the price a heat pump would have to be piped from the rear garden through our Conservatory that spans the whole of the rear of our home. We are well insulated - all our Porcelain floors would have to be dug up to fit underfloor heating anywhere.
The future might have to be Night Storage with no doubt a load of re-wiring as a 13 amp socket is probably not good enough.
haynes66:
sort of still on topic, we had problems with the condensate liquid eating through plastic pipe as it is very acidic. anyway, i came across a product called condensulate in a 10m coil, so no leaky joints
