How do,
i have a problem with my combi boiler, which is a vaillant 242/282 EH. Problem i have is with a mixer shower that has been fitted, in that water will run hot then cold. The shower was ok when it was first fitted aprox 6 -7 months ago. but over the last 2 - 3 months the problem has started.
I thought it may be shower at first, but having left he shower running while i sit listening / watching the boiler i have come to the conclusion it is the boiler that is at fault. Reason i have come to this is that when shower is turned on boiler kicks in, after a couple of mins the boiler swithes off and the water runs cold, short time after boiler kicks in again and water runs hot.
Any body any ideas. I am not a plumber and i don't intend carrying out any repairs my self, i just don't want to be told a cock and bull story when the plumber comes out.
Cheers in advance.
