2 of the radiators weren't working in my flat (out of 6), so I bled them both. Unfortunately, the flippin cap came off the second one and a load of manky water went onto the floor. After quickly closing off the cap (not sure if that's the correct term), I noticed that the pressure gauge on the Vaillant - either a thermomax plus or a thermo compact according to the literature - had gone to zero and now I'm out of hot water and central heating. Nightmare!

Asked a chap in central heating/DIY shop around the corner about filling the system to get the pressure back up and apparently I need to turn something with a screwdriver at the back underneath the boiler? I tried following the instructions in the literature, but nothing seems to be happening. Any thoughts?

The turbomax usually has a built in filling loop. You will just see a small lever sticking out below the boiler on the right side. Turn this lever through 90 degrees to allow water to enter. Close when pressure reaches 1.0 bar or a bit above.
 
Hi,

I had the same problem and was with a TurboMax Plus. I refilled the system but still i have not hat water and no central heating. All i get is the green light flashing or either on continuosly no orange light i would expect.

No fault code displays either.

Any thoughts from anyone would be great.

Cheers Craig
