Quite right PCB's on these boilers featured on BBC Watchdog! The PCB now is a compete upgrade compete with wiring loom and control tray, will take a Qualified guy around 3/4 - 1 hour to do cost approx £195-00 + Fitting & Vat
BUT. Before goinig for this, it is worth checking the working Flow & Return temperatures to make sure the thermistor (£10-00) is OK and that there is adequate flow around system, (11'c Temp rise across Boiler)
I have also found on occasions this fault is caused by an intermittant fault in the Gas control Valve (£150-00)
You should ge a Gas Safe Register Listed Engineer holding CCN1 &CEN1 Qualifications to investigate and repair
I am pleased to say that the current PCB's for these boilers seem to work reliably and to date we have had none fail in about 2 years of use
