Hello all. Novice here, so go easy
Combi boiler approx 8 years old. Central heating perfect, touch wood. Plenty of hot water in downstairs taps (kitchen, WC) and upstairs bathroom basin. However, water runs tepid in bath after approx 5 seconds of hot. System keeps dropping pressure and the 'outflow'? pipe dripping outside.
Suggestions so far have been either or both of the following.......
Replace heat exchanger as it's clogged up and can't service the greater flow of water needed for bath...
Replace diverter value.......but not sure why?
I can survive the way it is until after Xmas, but would appreciate some guidence before I call out a plumber.
Cheers guys & gals,
Alan
