Going to take the burner out and clean it along with the main heat ex tomorrow when i can get new burner seal. I know this will cure it but thought ide post somthing coz its been ages. Any thoughts ???? Also im not keen on this new version of ukpf

Check the integrity of the flue a full strip down and service is needed and retest , if that does not result in a lower ppm then contact Baxi technical what was the co/co2 ratio? Cheers Kop

Dan or lou move this to the GSR only forum please

Thanks guys.
So as i said, took burner out and cleaned heat ex as it was full of crud, replaced gasket which is rubber not graphite then retested. Ratio was then at about 10.8 % and ppm was up 200 which was well lower than before cleaning out. Adjusted the gas valve to Mi to 8.4% +- 2 and now boiler is burner perfect. Happy days

Don't think you need to change the seal unless damaged on these.

Correct but they cost £11

11 on top of a your service price is alot when your competing on price with very cheap prices.

Cheaper then not doing it and setting fire to the boiler.

The boiler set fire to itself.

The ecotec Vaillant's did when the rubber combustion seal perished

Went to one of these the other day, never been serviced, took the door off and didn't even recognise the thing, customer didn't even care that half the boiler had melted as he "got away with paying for servicing"

Lucky his house is not a pile of ashes

After his wife overheard the conversation which resulted in a new boiler and how dangerous the thing was, I think he would have taken his chances and been safer
