the plate to plate heat exchanger needs changing.
this is often called the domestic heat exchanger. when you make a demand for water a diverter valve opens and sends
the main central heating flow through it passing its heat to the water flowing through it thus it arrives at the tap hot

It sounds very much like the Domestic (Plate) heat exchanger is passing.

If you live in a high mains pressure area, i.e. more than 8bar, you may need to install a pressure reducing valve on the CW inlet. The heat exchanger will need replacing but the PRV will prevent a reoccurence.
