Baxi Solo PFL - sooting up

[tdslds]

Hi,

I have had quite a few problems with this boiler every since we moved to our house 8 years ago (the boiler is 9 years old)

Anyway, everything I have managed to resolve apart from one problem, the pilot light burns yellow at the tip after the main gas is alight for about 5 minutes. This would not be an issue but it causes that section of the heat exchanger to soot up. I have checked the gas rate and burner pressure plus I have replaced the gas valve (new) and fan assembly (re-conditioned) Also, two pilot injectors have been installed and the problem came back within 6-8 months. Think I have covered everything. Also, I have checked the flue pathway as it is travels vertically through the loft to a ridge tile (about two metres) I believe Baxi have an inherent problem with their injector.

Any ideas??

Agreed.

You need a gsr in to look at your boiler. We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers for your own safety.
