error code F08 indicates a heater fault so I have replaced the element but still displays error code.

In order to remove the error code: 2 options:
1 Reprogram the CCU which is known as an ETNA CCU (module). This will require a hardware key and an ESAM unit (neither of which are readily available to purchase).
2 Install a pre-programmed ETNA CCU for the correct model.
I’m adding this info in 2021 in order to help anyone who encounters the same problem.
BTW - I’m a field service engineer.
