Can't seem to get to the drain tap. PRV pipe in the way and can't get my hand in to turn it.

Do I need to drain the system?

I'm a unit lol

It's fine. Can do it with both hands. Would I just need to switch boiler off, open up a rad to get rid of any excess pressure and then repressurise?

This would do it

looks like I would be able to get to this with a normal foot pump.

Ok good news. I can get the the valve and just pressed it. Bit of air came out but no water. Sure I read that it might just need repressurising.

Just worried that there isn't enough clearance to get to it

Presume you have to get to this from the top of boiler.

Thanks for that dilalio. Read about the recharging and hopefully this will be the case. Know you can do this yourself but don't want to mess with it to be honest.

Ok, left it over night at 1.5 bar with heating off and found pressure gauge dropped to 1bar. Checked the PVR and found nearly a cup full of water in the bag I had tied on. I put the heating on this morning and pressure increased to 3.5 bar and had to release some through bleeding a rad. Looks...

Thanks for that. Already tied this on and see what is in there tomorrow. Would this be costly to repair?

Wondering if someone could help with a problem we are having with our baxi 105 he combi. The pressure keeps dropping even after repressurising with the filling loop even when the boiler is running cold. Drops about 0.5bar per hr at the moment but seems to have got worse since I bleeded all the...
