New Vaillant combi.
Any cold mains tap or valve is closed boiler seems to sense increase in
pressure and turns itself on. I imagine without investigating further
that it is heating the small hot water store as it does do intermittently
anyway. This happens every time so it isn't coincidence.
Any ideas?

In addition to AG's reply which I believe to be correct. You can switch
your boiler from intermittently heating the HW by turning the HW knob
fully anticlock and then back to where it was. This will save gas but
the HW will take longer to come through hot.
