Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can help any advice welcomed. Got a Valliant Turbomax 828e, whilst the boiler is supplying hot water (also usually the heating is on when it happens, also i think it happens when another tap is turned on)

symptoms

1. The hot water tuns cold.
2. The boilers pressure gauge goes up from around 2 to 3 bars
3. the temperature display on the boiler increase rapidly from 70 to 130 (think 130 is the cut off hence cold water).
4. After 3 minutes the temperature drops including the pressure, at which point you can hear a rush of water in the boiler, this happens faster if the reset button is pressed.
5. The boiler works fine.

I have replaced the diverter valve and secondary heat exchange, which has stopped a F22 - water error but this problem is still happening, occurs perhaps once every 3rd day. Makes showers a lot quick !!!!!!!

Any help really appreciated

Cheers
