Hi everyone
does anyone know why im not getting any hot water?
my boiler is a vaillant combi and the heating works fine but this morning the water went cold mid shower!!!
i turned off the boiler and re started it a few times and it came back on again - now its gone cold again and turning things off doesnt seem to work again?
any ideas - its my cleaning day!

could it be something to do with the filter???? if so where is this located. someone has just said that they had a similar problem and their water worked when the heating was on and that seems to be the case here also?? any advice gratefully received!!

There should be filters on the inlets to the shower valve, but first take the rose off clean all the holes and try the shower with and without the rose attached
