I've just bought a new flat and for the first month or so I could have a shower/bath fine (mains shower not electric) but all of a sudden if the water is turned on full power it runs cold after about 30/40 secs.... This appears to be happening with all the hot taps but is more problematic with the bath as this is where you tend to run the water on full power more.... If I run the taps slower I can get hot water fine but just means I can't have a shower and it takes forever to run a bath.
I have an ariston eurocombi (A/23 - A/27) about 6/7 years old from what I can tell. I had this serviced shortly after I noticed the water problem. The engineer replaced some switch (not sure what its exact name is - says APS GG8484 on receipt). The boiler had seemed to be continually re-lighting so whatever he did it solved this problem but NOT the hot water running cold. He told me "nothing could be done re: the water problem as this is common with all combi systems" I tried to tell him that the water had been fine the month before but he blatantly ignored me and said id have to trickle the taps to get hot water!
Is it a case of i'm a girl so tell me any old mince...... HELP!?!? I think this is fixable but just need some advice to give me confidence before I get on the the company to complain about their engineer!
