my combi is 3 years old. recently the water is not as hot as it was before. Does the heat exchanger need cleaning or what else could it be?

sorry but you are wrong , the problem is lack of air in the combustion chamber, the boiler is asking for air just like you need oxygen to live the boiler needs air to work satisfactory

most likely the heat exchanger is scaling up. will need cleaning or replacing. but i would also check to see if the diverter valve is not at fault. a good idea would be to put some cleaning agent like sludge remover into the rads for a few days first and drain the system, then fix the heat exchanger, then add inhibitor to the system.
