Worcester Bosch 24i tepid water

[mrchris]

Hi

We have a worcester bosch 24i 10 years old, the CH works fine everything looks ok with the boiler, the hot water though is tepid, this has just happened today. The diverter valve is operating correctly when you turn on the hot water tap on , so it is a mystery. Any ideas?

How do you know the diverter valve is operating correctly? Are you gas safe??

maybe as its cold outside the incoming water is cold and the little w/b us not powerfull enough to get the temp uplift at the flow rate you require...its easy just slow down the hot water demand and see what happens ...centralheatking
modern W/b uck ...10 year old one might just be a keeper ..got
one in Selby Drive it is fine just gets on with its job

I know a plumber who checked it for me, but didn't have time to fully inspect but he said diverter valve is ok

is This plumber just s plumber or a gas and heating engineer?

 

[Riley]

I’d suggest another engineer as there are a few obvious things with this

what was his prognosis?

He was doing me a favour but he didn't have time to fully inspect it, but he said the diverter valve was moving up and down as it should be when the tap is turned on, although he couldn't rule it out as being faulty, he may be able to come back tomorrow and have a proper look. I have since turned off the CH and ran hot water out of the tap slowly and it went hot, so i am am baffled now?.

But here he cannot rule it out. Doesn’t sound right to me.

Oh and the bottom right hand corner of the boiler case doesn’t look like it is fitted correctly.

Clearly I didn't explain properly at first, i'm probably trying to sound as if i understand the problem, when i don't.

I’m going to stop it there and say you either need another GSR engineer or you need to get your one back as long as he is gas safe as there is a fairly obvious fix which I’m surprised he didn’t think of first.
