Worcester 28Si II, system bar pressure going very high.

Doing that very thing! Thanks guys...

Think about it for a second...if the operating pressure of your system is set to say 1-1.2 bar the EV cannot be set any higher than that for it to function. (0.8 - 1.0 bar)

Hi guys, further to previous, have had a chat with the nice lady at Worcester and have "filled in the blanks" re: settings and draining procedure (without emptying whole system!).

Thanks for all of your help, and now see the logic in your post, gmartine.

On a related matter, I have signed up to the Worcester Greenstar Junior class in November... There seem to be a lot of these about!

As you've passed the post count will sort your request out tonight

Thanks Shaun-

For reference it transpired that the expansion vessel had failed; pressed the pin in the schraeder valve down and had a handy instant wash. Thanks for the support, all.

Had it actually gone or was it just condensation?

I am pretty sure it had gone, reasoning so based on fact that I drained out a washing up bowl and then some, and that when I attempted to re-pressurise with foot pump no pressure was retained by the vessel and more water blew out.

Out of the inlet heating side or the air valve ?
