Vaillant VCW GB 242 EH, cuts out when upto temp?

This is not an electrical problem. Sounds to me like it is modulating from high gas to low gas then off, when it's cooled down a little it repeats this. This is due to a circulation problem, mucked up system/sludge/blockage/slow running pump etc.... These boilers are very relyable but most engineer don't know much about them so instead of attempting to repair them they quote for a new appliance. Best advice is to get someone that has experience with this boiler. Hope that helps!
