OK will do. Thanks for the information 👍
Takes approximately 30 seconds to reach a temperature where I cannot hold my fingers underneath the flow. That's in the kitchen which is approx 10 metres from the boiler with not many bends in the pipework.
It's definitely working better now.. Since I reset it🤔
 
If that's at a flowrate of 10.75 LPM (1 litre/5.6 secs) then the boiler is working OK, the temperature setting should be left at maximum IMO at all times to give the quickest warm up and the shower thermostat mixing valve will control the temp to the desired showering temperature.

OK.. I will keep an eye on it. Obviously the run time will Increase come winter.
I have always thought that this boiler was underpowered for the size of the Bungalow.
3 Beds/2 Bathrooms/9 radiators and a loop in the airing cupboard. The boiler is in the garage now which joins the house but has to travel appropriately 10 metres before it enters the house..
 
Did you test turning off the cold water feed to the boiler via the boiler isolation valve and running a hot tap? I see if you answered/did this to rule out a cross over through a thermostatic cartridge as per johns suggestion.

No not buddy. That's my job shortly 👍

Well after much deliberation my wife and I decided to take the plunge and have had the 15 year old Baxi replaced. It never had a pre heat function on this one as it was the early model not the 105 instant. We have had a Worcester Bosch 8000 style 40kw fitted in Black. We have noticed that the hot water delivery is very very quick even without the pre heat turned on. The Baxi had been a good boiler but was just tired.
No more warranty payments now as this one has a 10 year parts and labour included with the price.
We are still getting to grips with the digital display.. Lots of features with this one.
Thank you to all for your help over the past few weeks 👍
