Worcester Bosch Greenstar 37CDi combi boiler

We had the above boiler fitted in 2008.

Recently, the hot water temperature has started to badly fluctuate, most noticed when running a bath, although our older shower was also affected ( newer shower is fine, possibly less powerful).

It will maybe be ok for upto a minute and then temp will drop to just above cold for maybe 20-30 seconds before starting to reheat and be okay for another minute or so and the cycle will repeat.

The bath temp is possibly okay when flow reduced quite a bit.

Anyone any ideas what the problem could be ( please don't be expensive!) from that vague description -

Many thanks for any help

    Blocked plate heat exchanger on the system side.

    Needs removing and chemically flushing out.

    Probably around £100 + VAT and a PITA being a Worcester.

    A flat bread. Or a Pain In The Backside.

  • Did the installer fit a scale inhibitor on the cold feed to your boiler ?

    PITA = pain in the a ss
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
