Boiler pressure issue independent c30

My boiler is about 6 months out of warranty been serviced every year but have an issue.

Yesterday I noticed the pressure was low so opened the taps to re-pressurise but it didn’t make the noise like it is filling up and the pressure gauge was still at zero then I resettled boiler and it went back to normal

Then checked it again yesterday and it was at zero again and tried again to re-pressurise but still no joy

Tried to reset again but no joy.

Is it something I’m doing wrong or is it a fault with boiler and I need a plumber.

Everything seems to be going wrong at moment

  • Are you handy at all?

    I would personally disconnect the filling loop hose and open the cold tap into a bucket to see if any water comes out. If it does but you still can't fill the heating system the other filling tap may of failed in the closed position.

    Not too bad.

    Which end do you diconnect and when you say open cold tap do you mean on sink ?

    Sorry if stupid question
  • No sorry, just disconnect the filling hose from either end and open the filling tap into a bucket/bowl (the tap you'd open to fill the system)

    Go here and look at the manual which should show where the valves are and which sequence to open/close them.
