I have a puma 80 combi boiler. I can light the pilot light but within between 5 and 30 minutes it goes out when the heating or hot water is used, can u help ?
potterton make the puma, id say change thermocouple, £10 part, I think its a balanced flue so the compartment ventilation isnt an issue

Its possible that the room the boiler is installed in is not ventilated enough to keep the pilot supplied with enough oxygen to keep the flame alight. Is it installed in a compartment and if so, does this compartment have additional ventilation because this could be due to oxygen starvation.

NOT NECESSARY THE THERMOCOUPLE, COULD BE THE PUMP, IS THE BOILER NOISY AND BANGING BEFORE IT GOES OUT? IF SO ITS PROB UR PUMP/

puma 80 is made by potterton, sounds like the thermocouple has gone
