The fault - poor hot water temperature when on hot water only.
The fix - reduce the flow rate by altering the MFR.
The boiler is 11 year old, we moved in to the house 18months ago, most of the adjacent houses have had boiler changes, which proves there must have been a problem with the boiler installations in the first place. The estate is only a small one. The british gas service van is never away.
You are clever, did you think that one out all by yourselfThere never was any fault with the boiler!
Another clever comment, is that your stock comment when you can't sort a boiler problem. "Sorry sir you turned the tap to fully open, the boiler can't cope with that"Just that the owner expected more hot water than the boiler can give and he turned the taps on too much.
I ride a bikePerhaps he adjusts the throttle on his car so that fully down it will not exceed 70 mph ?

So what you are agreeing to is that, when hot water is required at a sink adjacent to the "boiler" the tap should NOT be turned to the FULLY on position, because the boiler can't produce that much hot water.............go have another think my friend, you live in a different worldnot often i agree with tony but if you think that is wrong then you are thicker than mud
Go read the manual on the Potterton Puma 80 my friend - page 19 Commissioning Item 3.6 D.H.W. Flow Rate. ( Should it be desired to set the appliance to give a Higher Temperature Rise............)nickso said:and what......you reducing a throttle to slow the flow rate is not the same as slowing the flow rate at any tap?....i think you had best go for a lie down mate.
With the help of my glasses, what I wrote is what I have said all along, suggest you go and read the manual or shut up.nickso said:

You haven't see the bike.

now your just showing off.
if you turn on a tap no matter how close it is to the boiler and it is above the boilers maximum flow rate it will reduce the temp rise.
