Vaillant heat exchanger   
I need a replacement main heat exchanger (not domestic hot water) for a 
Vaillant VCW Sine 18 combi boiler (part number 061605). Best price I have 
seen is aroung 200 with vat and delivery  from a site I found via Google. 
Anyone have any links to other suppliers I could try? Several sites have the 
part listed but seem to hint at availability being an issue. Cheers.

The main heat exchanger is often the part which calls time on the life of
the boiler. This boiler is probably 15 years old? However there is no
reason why it would not go some more year yet _provided_ the rest of the
unit is in _good_ condition. 

The price is plausible. 
A new boiler+fitting (of similar quality) would be several times the part
+fitting.

Tried http://www.mjtcontrols.co.uk/ ?
They gave me good service last year for the hot water flow detector.

Good luck
