I have had no heating for over 4 weeks. Radiators stopped working one at a time, working back towards the boiler. I had noticed it was really noisy and running on really high pressure since last service. Boiler is a baxi platinum and covered by corgi installed 10 years ago on 19th nov. The engineer they sent out said it was a write off, all insides were melted so they referred to baxi. They changed the heat exchanger, ignition switch, burner and something else I can't remember the name of at the moment. I think pretty much the only thing they didn't change was the diverter and the pump and the controls. the heating still didn't work so the baxi guy said it was the system. somebody came out and said it was the diverter, but corgi queried this because baxi had been . they then sent the guy's boss, who said it was a blockage in the system. I had 8mm pipes, so was told a pressure flush would not be a good idea.
somebody private came out and said it was the pump.
corgi sent the same guy back, who still said it was a blockage (there is heat going out, but not returning to the boiler).
I got a different private person and had all my radiators and pipes changed, a new magnetic filter and a chemical flush and the heating still did not work. Still no return to the boiler. they thought it was the diverter.
Corgi sent the same company as previously, who still say there is a blockage in the system, but I don't see how if everything is new? But I am now getting some heat on the second floor (where the boiler is) and on the third floor, but downstairs is still cold and the new drop pipes are cold. Radiators that are working are not overly hot though, and cooler at the bottom. Boiler noisy and leaking underneath too which it has been doing on and off for some time. The timer controls have also not been working properly for a while but I have not thought to report this previously. Don't know if that could be a factor in any way?
I am now told that on my renewal in january I will no longer be covered for boiler replacement because it is now over 10 years old. should I have insisted on a replacement boiler?
I am demented trying to get this sorted. can anyone please advise on what they think the problem is?
Thank you
