Your pilot on your water heater is going out be careful trying to relight it cause it can set things on fire. the pilot is probably at the bottom of the heater. just take a lighter (the longer the better) and relight it.

Boiler won't ignite for hot water unless heating is on.

If this is in a RV the propane monitoring valve may require more gas flow to turn on than the water heater requires. A central heating system requires substantial gas flow so when the monitoring valve opens to fire the central heating, there is enough gas flow to also fire the water heater.

Vailant ecotec plus 837 - Water pressure and temp is too high

Pressure inside the tank will rise along with the water temperature. As the water inside cools the pressure will wane until the heating element turns on and reheats the water with a subsequent rise in pressure. Running the hot water at the same time will draw heat energy from the boiler and lower the internal temp and pressure as well.

I have an ariston 20/24 mffi combi pressure rises when switched to central heating but pressure ok when asking for hot water ? expansion vessel ?

over heat limit stat on central heating circuit ? if hot water is ok and hot to temp when run for 5 minutes the expansion vessel is doing its job.remember hot water is the maximum demand for any boiler ,,heating is secondry?once you establish hot water at maximum rate then the only real problem is on you demand for heating??

When you turn on hot water tap the boiler fires up hot water for a few seconds the water becomes cold the boiler flame goes out then fires up again. when the heating on the flames stays on then off then on...

To avoid having a flame in the absence of water flow, the device you mentioned, 'diaphragm,' detects if adequate water is flowing to avoid a dangerous condition. Check on the housing of it for an adjustment screw; it may have a dot of sealant on it since these normally can be adjusted. It sounds as if it is misjudging the quantity of water flowing through and causing the annoying cycling.

Boiler recycling when in DHC mode and water alternates hot then cold, back to hot every few minutes. Could it be pressure / flow rate.

First check pressure over 1 bar ok then-
1. check flow - is it adequate - a little less than the cold tap ok then -
2. does the boiler initially fire up on low hot flow but alternate as u say
If answers are 1. no but 2. yes then check for a furred up secondary heat exchanger
if 1. yes but 2. no [that is the water not the heating] goes hot / cold and if the boiler goes out when the water goes to cold then it's the diverter valve, either to replace or if it is one which has a internal diaphragm-replace that

Alpha 240e boiler wont fire up for hot water, will for heating

most likely the diverter valve.. when hot tap turned on the movement of the water through the valve operates a diaphragm which pushes a pin/button//switch to tell the boiler to fire up

A trickle of hot water from taps, central heating ok

it sounds like your shut off valve might be bad even though it turns on and off by turing it doesn't mean that the washer is not stuck to the seat and not opening, try replacing the valve
