The achilles heal on these is the diverter valve and it sounds like yours requires attention.With the heating system cooled down try the hot water and if the CH flow pipe underneath boiler gets hot then that proves it.Diverter valve can be overhauled at a reasonable cost but others will say replace it.I personally ALWAYS repair them with a kit of parts.

A combi boiler is not meant to give water over 55 C as that will scald you!
