I know the 2 grey taps under the boiler - open them to the correct pressure then close off? Then just watch?

Only ever managed to get it 1/2 way This is sooo frustrating - no pressure again and I can not find a leak at all :cry:

So when the pressure gets to much - it releases outside?

Where is the PRV? is this actually mounted in the boiler unit itself? I have 2 pipes coming out of my wall that its monted on One pipe (which is plastic) appears to run down into a guttering pipe. Then I have a metal pipe that comes out and appears to have a ubend on it - dont know what that...

I have had him out at least 4 times. I called him out because water was leaking down my wall - I found it andcalled him out. He said he replaced a split pipe and gave me the bit he replaced - it looked nothing like the bit I knew was leaking so decided to take a ganders at it - he had not...

This is good advice - I meant to say that the Corgi certificate was send about 4-5 weeks after installation. I will ask for Benchmark though - definately did not recive that. As per the post above though will check in the instructions Thanks for the advice - its driving me mad as I...

Well all that I got from him was the Corgi certificate :?

I have just spoken to my engineer with regards this problem - he told me I must have a water leak! He said let me know when you find it and I will come round. Says there will be nothing wrong with the boiler itself which is why there must be a water leak I shouldnt have to find the leak...

Hi chaps, I have hd a Vaillant Eco tec installed in August - since then it has been losing pressure every week or so. I have had the engineers come back out and they have replaced 2 pipes on different occassions. I kid you not when I say that I have reset the damn thing nearly 20 times -...

I will have look at that later - thanks for the info though

1st one was the day after installation - so spoke to the installer and he said use the grey knobs underneath - if that didnt cure it he would be round straight way Now its happened again some 4-5 weeks after installation What does Purge the boiler mean? how do I do that?

I have had it installed for about 1 month now - however twice it has lost all presure - I have had to re pressurise it by twisting the 2 grey knobs underneath. Surely this shouldnt be right?

Just had a boiler chap come round quoted me £2500 - £3000. Bearing in mind he is not going to remove any pipe work - just drain of the gas etc and cut it off from the back boiler. Said this would keep the cost down. I said I do have mates that will supply me a boiler at trade price - if you...
