Boiler issues

We have a Potterton Combi boiler, it was losing pressure. Engineer replaced the diverter valve and said it was corroded. It worked fine for a few days before making a loud banging noise for s few minutes which stopped when the sink taps were on. It was ok for a couple of days and then went off completely. The engineer says the circuit board needs replacing but I'm wondering what caused the issue with the circuit board & whether it will just blow again. I think the boiler is about 8 years old. Any advice welcome.

    I think not really a wiring issue, but I must admit that a PCB in my boiler at home failed after I had replaced the pump. Had I upset it, or was it purely coincidence?


    Frankly, given the flimsiness of modern appliances, at 8 years, the best option may be to replace the entire boiler.


    Combi boilers should last 15 years'.
