Hi, I only get about 3 mins of hot water on my combi boiler. 2 years ago I removed the filter to allow more flow of water.

Any reason now, why Im only getting 3 mins of hot water beofre it runs cold?

Thanks to all that have replied. The reason that I removed the filter was on the advise of the plumber...and he did it to allow water to flow with moe pressure ....

Anyhow in reply to getting the Vokera engineer out - do you now get a continous flow of hot water ?
Thanks for that - maybe thats my best bet - although probably not the cheapest......

we have had the same problem over the summer with our vokera combi boiler. We had the vokera engineer out and she changed the pcb (£125) and the heat exchange(£70) among other things. Best advice for you is to phone Vokera up and pay for their engineer to come out, the yearly plan may seem a bit steep in price but they will not leave until the problem is fixed properly, the price includes call outs fort he year, parts needed to fix boiler and labour of their own engineer. In our case they came out on three different days to make sure the boiler was working properly and for the next year if anything else goes wrong they come out free of charge within 24 hours of your call.

Does it run hot-cold-hot-cold.... If so get a corgi man to clean the flue venturi. (Google vokera flue venturi hot water cycling)Check the diaphragm and bypass valve arent blocked in the DHW inlet manifold too.
