Hi!
I have a 9 year old Baxi combi boiler. When I turn the central heating on, the boiler pressure is getting so high that it keeps cutting out completely. It's absolutely fine when I run any hot water though. Does anybody know what the problem is likely to be please?
Thank you

There is an expansion vessel that is supposed to prevent this behaviour. It is evidently not doing its job and needs attention. There'll be a pressure relief valve that needs checking at the same time. Should be a straightforward fix for a heating engineer.

Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...
