Hi Folks,
I have just moved to a new house with the above mentioned conventional oil boiler. The problem i have , is that even on full power the tops of some of the radiators arent getting hot. I have bled them ( nowt comes out , water or air) and the boiler appears to be doing what it should.

At my previous house i had a gas combi unit that occasionally did the same thing. Nice easy fix , recharge system with water to 1.5bar on the guage on the front of the machine and away to go!

My question is this , does this boiler need the same thing doing to it , and if so how do i do it ? I cant see an obvious guage anywhere .

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks

You need to pull the front cover off.

Hi oilman ,
Done that , can obviously see what I am assuming is the pump. What next plz ?

Sorry to be a dumbass

, but is the above solution the one you are referring to ? I only ask it says you shouldnt have to adjust it from when it was installed , or the heating system has chnaged in some way. My system has been set for many years and the system hasnt been modified.

Many thanks for your input Kev.

click on my link the one you have is for balancing the system

Estrella · 29 Dec 2006

Cheers Kev , the link I posted was from the link you posted , if you get what I mean .

Can I assume you mean the ''How to restore the pressure in a sealed heating systems.'' ?

If so the instructions appear to relate to a combi boiler setup which isnt what I have.

Here are some more pics of what I found in an adjacent cupboard.

I cant feel any cold pipes which I would expect to be a cold feed. Is this then a sealed system ?

This is slowly starting to drive me nuts

Thanks for the assistance

Oh poo , its just dawned on me that there is a tank in the cupboard upstairs. Should I be filling this instead ?

kevplumb · 29 Dec 2006

have a look around there should be 2 if its not a sealed system

Estrella · 29 Dec 2006

Yes there are two, a large one and a smaller one next to it , approx 1/3 its size

kevplumb · 29 Dec 2006

the small one is the heating header tank

is there any water in it

Estrella · 29 Dec 2006

Hi , yes its 2/3 full , and cold . Hope that helps
