I have heard that dashes instead of error codes indicate a problem with the wiring.
With the power OFF, check the connections of wiring harnesses and that none of the wiring jacks (little plastic connections) are loose with on the circuit board, or any of the other boiler parts.

Thanks, already checked that but nothing obvious. [Strange it ran and then died.]
check connector block is fully pushed in and check voltages

Manufacturer said indicates overheat and cannot be reset, they are sending out engineer. Must be some kind of record 30 second use before breakdown.
Should have taken the fitters recommendation for a Worcester.[mind you my new Worcester does'nt work correctly either.]

Dont think they're any better, i psuh vaillant where i can, altough others may disagree.
Let us know how you get on and whether the dashes on the display to indicate overheat and what the engineer does to rectify the fault.

Hey engineer man where in liverpool are you from?
Vertical line of three dashes , alternates with time.
Turns out just jammed pump, quick nudge and all working, the display I mentioned appears after a fault code which requires attention, my fitter just reset without making a note of error code and then could not reset due to overheat.{he should have of read the label on the boiler which states the pump may need manual help to start } 
been to thousands of these boiler and have never manually started a pump.
I think it's just new installation that may require manual kick-start.
All seem ok now, though hot water sometimes runs for a few seconds with all taps off?
