That's just what I'm getting with my Vaillant. (See my thread 'Combi Problems' of yesterday)
Seems as I shall be dismantling the secondary heat exchanger tomorrow and doing a descale with Fernox DS-3 Descaling crystals!
If that is not the problem, then I guess I shall be examining the possible replacement of the dhw overheat limiter sensor or its associated NTC-Resistor.
Either way, get it sorted quick before you do terminal damage to the gas control valve through over activity, as kindly pointed out to me by my correspondent in that thread! ;-)
