Hope someone can help here....
The hot water from my vaillant combi boiler is all but luke warm. The heating temp is brilliant, gets nice and hot really quickly, but the water doesn't heat up much at all. The boiler fires up and lights when the hot tap is turned on, but it's as if the temperature isn't up high enough. I have found the instructions and it does point out that there is a water temp adjuster, but, the previous occupant of the house has very kindly broken the plastic cover of the adjuster wheel, and squished the metal tap with his pliers. Now I cant get it to move, and dont want to squeeze to hard incase it breaks.
Anyone got any suggestions as to whether the tap can be replaced, or if there's another way of reducing the flow to heat the water up more.
I have had the boiler recently serviced and all the parts are in good working order, which leads me to believe that its the water flowing through too quickly to heat up enough.
Thanks - Doug
