Whilst repressurising my worchester 28cdi combi boiler i inserted the filling key turned the grey knob to the desired level then turned it of. When i came to take out the filling key, water is coming out also, so i cant remove the key without water escaping, can anyone hlep or suggest anything please?

make sure the water is off..so your filling the boiler anymore. then turn the key and pull out. some water will escape, but a very small amount

the filling knob is on the right of the key.

make sure the knob isnt just turning round and not actually turning the spindle as this is a common issue with these. the knob usually falls off if its doing that though.

there used to be a picture of the contraption in FAQ.
It should be fairly simple; close the valve you opened, don't touch anything else, consult your manual to see what is what.

I have discovered the filling knob is on the right of the key is just turning the spindle, so i used a pair of pilliars to close it but it still just keeps turning. Is there any other way to close the valve as im worried about leaving in the key as ur meant to remove straight away?

ps thanks for the help

Sounds like the filling unit is broken; the little plastic knob normally moves very easily and can be closed with very little effort.
