I've recently noticed some of the 'new' baxi boilers' cases going a bit yellow and am concerned that they're not UV stable and are going to start crumbling sooner or later.
Replacing a condense elbow today that has turned into what I can only describe as plasticine has only added to my concerns about baxi's materials choices.
Anyone else seeing this?
 
The elbows are know about and tbh your rep should of phoned you and supplied you with the new updated version eg the black one

As for case haven’t seen myself but I suspect it’s something todo with the plastic pigment they’ve used like the early white and brown soils used to turn off colour
