hi, I have a Valliant ecomax boiler, was fitted a few yars ago. When I put heating on, sometimes the boiler keeps igniting, turning off, re-igniting. When this happens the heaters can't get hot, they dont have a chance! It doesnt do it every time, so when i have called an engineer, it works ok, so no problem...then it does it again. Im worried how much this is costing me in gas, also, will this lead to a bigger problem?? The only thing to stop it, is to switch all off at main switch and leave it off for an hr, this tends to work. But it bothers me that I have to do this and I worry if it doesn't get fixed, it will lead to bigger problems..like a new boiler? Any ideas, has anyone lese had this?

Sounds like a lack of flow as heat isn't getting away from the boiler.
Does the temperature at the boiler shoot up? If the temperature shoots up could be pump is sticking.

The ignition flame shows, it goes up a couple of degrees, then cuts out and temp drops a few degrees, it goes on like this until i turn the boiler off
