The most common Baxi Megaflo System problems

The faults most likely to send a Baxi Megaflo System into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
E119 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (usually a silver braided hose with a valve) underneath the boiler.Open the valve(s) to allow mains water into the boiler.Monitor the pressure gauge on the front of the unit until it reaches between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then securely close the valve.

Est. cost
£80-150
Parts
Pressure relief valve, Pressure sensor

02
E20 High Engineer

Your boiler has lost the ability to accurately measure the temperature of the central heating water, so it has shut down to prevent overheating.

Est. cost
£120-220
Parts
Central Heating (CH) NTC Sensor, Wiring Harness
Full guide for E20
03
E110 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that it is overheating and has automatically switched itself off to prevent damage.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Pump, Diverter Valve, Primary Thermistor
Full guide for E110
04
E125 High Engineer

Your boiler is struggling to pump water around your heating system correctly, which is preventing it from heating your home or water safely.

Est. cost
£150-350
Parts
Central heating pump, Diverter valve, System filter
Full guide for E125
05
E130 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that the temperature of the exhaust gases leaving the flue is too high, causing it to shut down to prevent overheating.

Est. cost
£150-300
Parts
Flue NTC sensor, Wiring harness, Primary heat exchanger
Full guide for E130
06
E133 High Engineer

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot light its internal flame, which is likely due to an issue with the gas supply or the ignition process.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Baxi shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
