Did Vaillant replace the heat exchanger?
Yes the heat exchanger was replaced yesterday as the Combi boiler used to lose 0.2 bar of pressure each day and I was constantly refilling the boiler each day as well. The fault with the Main heat exchanger was originally diagnosed by Vaillant last month and hence they ordered a new HX for me which got fitted yesterday.
