Think it's best to put this down to experience and get the boiler changed for a new unit, I can't see this is going to have a satisfactory outcome otherwise . Kop

I would concur.Think it's best to put this down to experience and get the boiler changed for a new unit, I can't see this is going to have a satisfactory outcome otherwise . Kop
You can but to me, a boiler in that condition needs changing. But it’s your call. A new boiler with possibly a 10 year warranty. Or repair the old one?Well Bosch are saying they will come round and charge £315 in total to change anything that is needed to be changed? That includes heat exchanger, pump, etc. Would that be a good option?
True. If you go with Worcester. Get it in an email, that there are no hidden costs and that it will definitely be repaired. They will probably also want you to take out a 12 month insurance policy with them. Make sure this isn’t also extra.I get what you're saying Harvest Fields. I'm selling the house so I'm in 2 minds about it and tbh it's only 5 years old... so with a complete refresh from Bosch I can't see too much harm getting it repaired with some fresh components. I equally could buy an Ideal or something for 900 or so and get it fitted... still means the system might need to be flushed out before this is all done.
Hence why cleaning the F&E tank will be a good idea basically, right?If that is from dirty water. It will eventually do the same to the new one.
Not in my experience. Only one way to tell though.They said I had 2 options, one being repair boiler all in all cost of £315, or take out yearly insurance of £375 part+lab+callout included. Will choose option 1 once system as been cleaned. Tbf maybe just using chemicals to flush the system out is enough rather than having to power flush?
System would need a flush as part of installI get what you're saying Harvest Fields.
