My BAXI System 35 boiler went on the blink today. It has been running
well for 3 years now.

The fault lights suggest 'fault with fan/flue'. I have checked the fan
is turning fine, and have checked that the micro-switch on the flu
pressure sensor is operating correctly. I have also traced the wiring
back from the microswitch on the pressure sensor to the PCB and that
seems OK to.

My guess is that it must be the PCB which is faulty.

The symptoms are...
After resetting the boiler and setting the CH Demand on, the boiler pump
and fan run up, and after about 10 seconds the flu/fan fault light
starts flashing. The pump and fan continue to run.

Should I go ahead and replace the PCB or could it be something else?

The key question is does the microswitch operate inside the 10 second
window?
If it does then the PCB is suspect. I expect that maybe cetltd has one.

If it doesn't then the problem might be that there is dirt near the inlet
tube to the pressure switch. It might still operate but not quickly
enough.
