Hi,
I have recently bought a flat and we have a Saunier Duval combi boiler which is around 5 years old. I bled a radiator 2 weeks ago and ever since the pressure on the is boiler dropping down to around 0.4 bar and the boiler stopped working. I keep re-pressurising the boiler, up to around 1.2 bar, but within 12 hours it has dropped again. Added to this the hot water in the shower is not as hot as the water coming from the taps.
We had an plumber come in and he said that we may have a leak and he needed to have access to the flat below to look for it, this is not possible. He also said to solve the hot water to the shower issue, the system needs flushing. Is this realistic seeing the boiler is only 5 years old? I have checked all of the valves on the rads and there does seem to be any leaks there.
I have noticed that there is a pipe that is going outside from just below the boiler and a lot of warm water is coming out of it when the heating comes on, does anyone know what this pipe is and how i can stop it from leaking?
Thanks in advance!!
