Potterton Boiler problem

I was in the loft and noticed that the flue to my Potterton HE24 had come apart at a 90 degree joint. I pressed the plastic pipe back together (this has happened once before). AS I did this I heard a trickle of water flowing backwards towards the boiler.

The boiler started to flash E133. I noticed that the inside of the boiler was awash with water (condensate?). I know E133 is a gas flow problem, but any idea on what actually may be broken?

    You need an RGI to sort the flue if nothing else.

  • Gonna call someone tomorrow (supposed to be going on holiday!) Not sure to call Pottertons Heateam or local bloke. Hopefully will arrange a visit when I'm back home next week. Cold shower in the morning!
  • yes turn it off & don't use it at all until it's looked at
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    Get a price off heateam for doing the repair, they do include the parts in with the total outlay, so could actually work out cheaper, if bigger parts are required. They will also have first option on parts because everyone else has to source them from their sister co Interpart.

    Hope this helps
