Typical Bosch 10P manual shows temperature control illustration on Pg4, and includes low water temperatures on troubleshoot on Pg6

Water flow rate too high, low gas pressure, faulty thermostat.

Two other things might be causing problem

No water coming out of hot water taps with a Bosch Water Wizard 10P?

Do you live in a climate where the hot water line could have frozen? If your heater did freeze up, that could be very bad. This is because water actually expands when it freezes and can do a lot of damage to pipes and to the water heater itself. My other thought is possibly a clogged in line water filter. But typically a clogged water filter would make it run with reduced pressure rather than a complete shutdown all water flow.

1) The manual does not show diagrams you asked for.

2) Website that sells Bosch parts does not show parts for water wizard, nor does Bosch site for parts: Instruction manual says: replace pilot injector
http://www.boschhotwater.com/HelpfulResources/PurchaseParts/tabid/837/Default.aspx
http://www.houseneeds.com/shop/heatingproducts/waterheating/parts/bosch2400espartsbuy.asp#

3) Searching "pilot injector for Bosch Water wizard" turns up fixya questions which is generally bad news for do-it-yourselfer because it means information sources are through service technician.

4) As a general rule, tankless are not do-it-yourself repairs or installation because they are affected by so many internal and external factors, including air quality, air flow, venting, other gas appliances, gas pressure, gas supply, water pressure, water flow, plumbing problems, water quality, plus internal parts and including any combination of things listed above..

We have a bosch water wizard 600 that is leaking water still works ok. We have got a water wizard 10p from a friend and was wondering if it is possible just to swap them over or who we can get to do it. ...

If your professional tradesmen won't touch the problem, then that tells the story.
If pros won't do it, would you trust amateur with your gas appliance? The answer is NO.

Manual for Water wizard:
http://www.bosch.com.au/content/language1/downloads/Bosch_10P.pdf

Web search for Bosch water wizard 600 turns up fixya questions, but nothing substantial, and nothing about your specific question.

Sounds like it's time to replace unit.

Water wizard 10P pilot light keeps going out

If the thermocoupler is defective the gas to everything is shut off. The coupler is the bulb that sits ib the pilot flame If it doesn't heat up it will sense no pilot and shut the gas off. They don't cost much and are easy to change. Good Luck, Ned

My bosh water wizard 10P pilot light keeps going out.

Very possible the thermocoupler is no good. The thermo coupler is that bulb that is in the pilot flame. It controls the main valve It's not expensive and fairly easy to change out.. Make sure you get no dirt in the cspillary tube hole.brass screw end. The bulb must be just in the flame tip when adjusting. Good Luck, Ned-
