feroli boiler D.H.W?

my boiler would not give hot water so i fitted a new dom hot water sensor i can now get hot water but i have to juggle with hot tap to turn the flow down to get hot water once its struck up it seems o.k.
its a ferroli optama 701 about 6 yrs old

think ive found the problem ,the flow meter was asembled the wrong way round, the flow restricter was asembled on the inlet side with the filter and the small O ring had come adrift inside the flow meter and jaming the wheel. Thanks "ferroli eng"

were about would this diafram be located or is it the flowmeter that just wants cleaning

its more than likely the flow switch as this causes the boiler to fire up in hot water to begin with take it apart and clean the components
