Cannot refill boiler

[trixta99]

Scott - I have topped up in the past but the last time was prob over 6 months ago. Its not moving from 0.4 but it was at that when I emptyed via radiator.

If your boiler was reading .4bar before you drained the radiator, just allowing water into the new radiator the pressure should have dropped. Did it not change?

 

[trixta99]

Moonlight - sorry I meant after draining it went to 0.4 before draining it was at 1.7

 

[Scott_D]

It should have gone to zero when drined.
Have you managed to get from zero to 0.4?

 

[trixta99]

No it just went to 0.4 when drained (maybe I didnt drain properly). I drained via the valve on a radiator by my front door.
So its not increasing but not sure how to decrease either!

Did you fill your new radiator?

do you hear any water going in, sounds like the normal valiant fault

 

[trixta99]

Shaun - cant hear water going in.

What is the normal Vaillant fault?

Moonlight - radaitor i worked on, unable to fill (it was just a leaky valve I changed)

hope you understand but i cant tell you, as you might try and fix it yourself

best get a gas safe engy out and get it serviced slightly earlier
