hi guys,
i had recently combi boiler instaled one of vailant advance approved enginerer.
hot water works fine. on heating mode, boiler starts with full flame and after a second drop to low flame and never reach target temperutre set for heating.
its like in a limp mode, works but like a safety divice activated,
enginer said that its very efficent boiler thats why its like this.
which i dont beive that/

Good evening,

What controls are you using? What’s the temperature set to on the boiler thermostat and room thermostat? Any zone valves installed?

Target temperature set for 60
Room thermostat on maximum.
Combi boiler so no zone valve involved

Seen plenty of combi’s on zone valves. Do any rads get hot? Do you have trv’s on the radiators? Are you sure the target is set to 60?

EDit: also the link you provided doesn’t work.

I’d be getting the installer back then, something obviously isn’t right, unless you have ebus controller, but even so, should heat up decent enough.

Press the top right hand button and post back what s code is showing when the boiler is in limp mode and how many rads do you have ?
