d.17 on Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 418

Your boiler has been manually adjusted to manage its heat using the return pipe temperature rather than the flow pipe temperature, which is a setting change rather than a breakdown.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
