Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can offer some advice, I've got a combi boiler (Getting pretty old now I think its around 12+ years old) currently on a BG repair plan.
Last year I had issues with the boiler not heating the water (luke warm) and the heat exchange was replaced along with a few seals and a gas valve due to boiler cutting out.
Yesterday morning I came back from work to find that my boiler was leaking, upon looking underneath it looks like the same part has gone again (I'm guessing its the heat exchange maybe?) It doesn't appear to be losing pressure that I can see.
I've rang BG but they have warned that due to the number of parts that have been replaced over the years they may condem the boiler if its a large / expensive part due to the age of the boiler and refuse to repair.
Can anyone tell me if this is the actual heat exchange, surely it should last longer than a year? If it isnt covered could anyone give an estimate of the cost for it to be replaced, currently I don't really have the funds to replace the whole boiler (the reason why I've always paid for a repair plan over the years) so really hoping it can be at least repaired for now.
Thanks in advance!
