Thanks of you who responded to a previous post, but I'm needing more help. Still the same problem as before where the heating works no problem but the hot water is cooler the higher you have the tap turned on. The 3 way valve and dhw thermistor was replaced last month to try and rectify the problem but to no avail. I'll say at this point that at no point does the radiators get warm when I run the hot tap as I've had this problem before and know this would mean the diverted.
I had my retired gas fitter come and take a look at the boiler (chaffeteaux britony combi 80) and he said that it could be down to the pcb so to replace that and while I'm at it replace the pressure relief valve as it was slowly loosing pressure. I got the new parts which he fitted and then turned the hot tap on. The water was hot even when the tap was on full flow, job done, or so I though.
I filled the sink and don't the dishes then ran a full bath for my daughter, no problem.
I the went up to wash my daughters hair and the original problem returned and I'm now at my wits end. That's now the diverted, dhw thermistor, pcb and pressure valve replaced. Every time a part gets replaced the dhw works 2 or 3 times then back to the original problem
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE???
Thanks for any advice guys/gals
