I have a Eurostar oil fired boiler which was installed with a new central heating system 3 years ago.
Around 1 month ago the hot water and heating were not heating up sufficiently. I finally tried bleeding the pump, first with the pump off which let a little air out and then with the pump on which expelled lots of air, I could hear the gurgling of the water starting to come through, and this fixed the problem.
The problem now is that every night when I put the heating on, I have to bleed the pump again after 2 or 3 hours of switching it on. It is then ok until the next night. The pump is at a higher level than the radiators which may account for the trapped air but where could the air be getting in? and why has this only started to happen recently?
Any help would be most appreciated,
Mark
