The point is he said he would do a power flush, not a chemical clean. The shower unit is about a year old, and though not impossible, it was very unlikely that this was the problem, and indeed, it turned out to be the case. And indeed, he should have isolated the shower before suggesting another £170-00 was spent on a part that was not needed.
No hot water from new Vaillant ecotec boiler.

The shower unit is Mira, and not a cheap one, and as mentioned, not that old.
Good point, but it was just swapping an Ideal combi for a Vaillant combi.
We now know it wasn't the shower, but another £170-00 was not going to be spent on guesswork.

Hot water dial was turned to 0
haha,, I think even a bad engineer would have spotted that one,, indeed, I think even the clients would have also.
Im hedging my bets on crossed hot and cold pipes at the boiler.

He'd ran out of gas
Or (depending on boiler model) installer hadn't set parameters on the boiler.
No answer gigz I think the op must be embarrassed
Ture Bunnyman, I should not tease, as I really really do appreciate the response. But I did post a clue with the honeywell room stat. Apparently, he connected the room stat up incorrectly (which drew my attention to the fact he hadn't installed the Vailliant stat) and when this was done,, it has worked. I have no idea how he got it wrong,, given it is only two wires, but he did,, and when he altered it,, hey presto.
He could have done, as the pipe entry/exit to the Ideal differs from the Vaillant, but he was keen to point this out at the start of the install,, and this again gave confidence to the client. He opened a lappy, and bragged how he had access to 6000..? different boilers, so if he couldn't solve a problem, the internet could. 10 days on,, and ,,,, no hot water..
So how does wiring a roomstat wrong cause no hotwater ? sorry mate not possible I think someone's pulling our chain here, u r not speaking to a load of numpties Mate u can't blag things ... Certainly Vaillant tech couldn't have gave advice that way trust me I know, If you can give me the day an approx time I can check?DIYnot Local
