Time to replace the boiler?

[humey53]

The Worcester Bosch 26CDi in our house is approx 13 years old.

Lately I observed two things. Firstly the time taken for a constant stream of hot water from the taps has increased to approx 40 seconds. Secondly water must have been dripping from (what looks like) a vent pipe, but I have just read its from the prv

Are the above problems cureable or terminal?

Impossible to tell from a forum.

The 26CDi is an unusual being an old condensing model (but nearly as efficient as a new boiler). All the parts from the normal CDi range are available and most of these models are fully repairable although they are not liked in the trade due to the particular design.

Diverter may be faulty coupled with a flat or failed expansion vessel....both a pig of a job.


Worcester will still do a fixed price repair if necessary.
