Hi, I've got a brand new (2nd hand) Bosch Hydropower 16H tankless hot water heater. Since it was installed I have noticed it leaks a lot. I took the cover off and it looks like the bottom part (water section?) is leaking in a couple of places. maybe a seal or diaphragm? Can it be repaired or should I start again? I don't have a warranty as it was second hand, but it was brand new and unused.
 
Don’t know that unit but in my experience most things can be repaired (maybe with some new parts) - it just comes down to whether it makes economical sense to do the repair.
Look at how much you paid, how much to replace unit, how much you are quoted for a repair…
