Ok so i changed a faulty 3 port valve.
After turning the water back on.. the heating nor hot water works.
The boiler may fire up for a minute or so then turn off... Im assuming its a saftey cut off, as maybe a blockage... No water going i to the boiler.
Hotwater taps run... But run cold of course.
After doing research it seems its likely crud/sludge... BUT..
HOW am i ment to find out where the blockage is? Or... How can i "flush" it out? (I imagine that will just delay the problem?)
Research suggests a typical place the blockage congregates is at a tee, from cold water feed from the tank... Where the hell would that be?
How can i deduce where a blockage is... IF ITS EVEN THAT?
When bleeding the rads... I just get.. nothing.. no water.. no rush of air.
