As I said earlier, I was just hoping for a bit of help, not a full diagnosis. It would be good to know what to say to a heating engineer when I need to call one (one hears too many horror stories of people saying they don't know what the problem is then being charged a fortune for work that...

Just checked the manual - there is a thermostat attached to the front of the main burner, and a limit thermostat on the pipe from the heating manifold to the primary heat exchanger.

36 was the temperature displayed on the front of the boiler. BTW, I haven't suggested that plumbers are thick, not sure where that one came from.

:roll:

Hi Gigz, When I turn the hot tap on the water heats to about 36 degrees on the boiler. Temp does not change if I slow the tap flow down. Flow is good. There does not appear to be any difference from before this issue started a couple of months ago - just that no longer have piping hot water...

That's what Vokera Technical Services said to me on the phone: Him: "Are there any fault codes?" Me: "No." Him: "Oh, it can't be your thermostats then." In the words of Manuel, "I know nothiiiiing". I came on here to try and get a bit of help, since another board had hinted the diverter...

???????????

Thanks for the reply, Tony. I have already had the DHW heat exchanger out and flushed it through. It wasn't very dirty or blocked up. Put it back and exactly the same symptoms, so have now moved to the diverter idea. Would it be worth just cleaning the components before swapping it out? There...

Hi, Having read dozens of posts here, I am fairly sure that the cause of my lukewarm dhw is the diverter valve on my Vokera Syntesi. Can anyone tell me which actual part/parts I need to replace? Is it the motorized valve (R2905) or the 3-way overhaul kit (R01005127) or something else? The...

That's very helpful - and clear in my mind now. Very useful info, as always! :wink: Thanks.

I want to install a timer fan in a bathroom. I have looked at previous posts but not found an answer to this directly. It is new, complete with instructions and diagrams, but it shows that even if it is incorporated into the lighting circuit a fuse should still be inserted before the light...

Thanks to both of you - very interesting and helpful.

Thanks for your input - Ban all sheds. I guess I should have been clearer in my question though. The heater is a new Dimplex. I understand that the IEE Wiring Regs (16th Ed) state that all exposed metalwork in all bathroom zones must be bonded to the supplementary earthing system regardless...

You could also try using showerseal as advertised here. It combines the use of silicon and and edging which gives a professional finish and lasts and performs well too. Costly though! :wink:
