Excuse the "urgent" but I'm hot-water-less :
The hot water supply has grown increasingly intermittent on my combi until now it rarely works. Central heating is fine.
The cam by the servo valve isn't moving reliably, insufficient to operate the DHW microswitch. If the cam is "encouraged" manually then the diverter valve does operate properly and hot water happens.
The water flow rate seems unchanged so I don't think that the secondary heat exchanger is blocked.
At the moment, I'm tending to suspect the water section being scaled up or its diaphram faulty (Can anyone confirm this hypothesis?)
I'm tempted to replace the entire water section module because that looks most straightforward, but most suppliers seem to be suggesting the type 011299 which looks slightly different underneath. I think that it also may not have a connection for the DHW expansion vessel fitted in my boiler.
Can anyone confirm that the updated valve 011299 is compatible?
How does it cope without the DHW expansion vessel? Do I leave that disconnected?
Advice most gratefully received.
Many thanks !
