Weve been fitting new bathroom and one of the jobs was to fit towell rail.
Over the weekend we got call that boiler wasnt working.
We couldnt get to job so a local firm did the job instead.
They got the boiler working again, until i dropped pressure for the second time to fit rad valves.
All i did was turn the return off, by the boiler valve and dropped the pressure without having to drain the full system.
Well, what do you think happened? Yea? Boiler ****ed me about for 2 1/2 hrs.
I couldnt for the life of me get the air lock out. 8pm at night, and so much for our early finish.
So as well as the air lock i still had finishing work to do in bathroom.....Gutted!!
Finally!!............I turned boiler on and off for the 50th time and it went to low rate and stayed there for 20 mins or so..........Thank God!
QUESTION>>>>>>>>>>Is there a easier way to get this boiler vented and working faster?? As there was no auto air vent on expansion vessel, like the instructions showed. I had every union and valve on boiler cracked open to try and release air????
The air was trapped in heat exchanger..................boilers working again, but after alot of effort.
Any Advice greatly appreciated for future side step of problems!!!
Boiler was a British Gas CC1 (Greenstar???)
