I got a 4 year old Saunier Duval combi boiler, noticed this morning, water dripping out the bottom of the boiler. I can see a silver metal plate in the centre where the drip is coming from which is a concern...


Anyone know why this is happening?


Many Thanks

Have you tried your Nuts?! They might need tightening and may save you a call out charge

I got it fixed yesterday, it was the bulex (or something) that went, cost £60 in total for a new one...

Hi... a bit of mystery part... what does it say on your invoice?

We had a similar problem about a month ago - turned up to be condensation dripping out from underneath - the boiler guy fixed it diverting a bit of foil which then drained away in a pipe I think - the boiler already has a lining of foil on the bottom inside (I guess this is the norm!) and this was just diverted. Didn't cost us anything as boiler is only 3 months old and under warranty.

Didn't get a Invoice just cash in hand, as the guy (Corgi) is a neighbour....

Hi...could you ask him what part has been replaced? Two reasons for this request i.e. professional interest and also your contribution of this info to the thread could help out a fellow MSEr in the future.

Howdy pardner

Sounds like you had one'a mah buddies in.!!

Apart from the water in the system and the condensate which is collected in a sealed container and piped away, there should be NO water inside the boiler casing.
Sounds like a lash up (pun intended)
ye haaaaa
