2 cold rads, others hot, low boiler pressure

[JasonGBristol]

I have a 3 year old flat, obviously not had the central heating on a great deal over summer. I turned it on for the first time the other day. there were 2 radiators that were cold all the others were boiling. as you should do i bled them till water come out. now all the radiators are not working properly, the two which were cold are still ice cold and i have to keep bleeding them all.

Being a man i did fiddle at the boiler and twised something that emptied water out also the bar pressure is under 1 if this helps anyone

Just spotted that! Not really a good idea to mess with buttons on boilers and you may find it will leak continually.

What boiler do you have?

 

[JasonGBristol]

i have bled all radiators the 2 which wre not working didnt have any air in, once i bled them i turned heating on and sounds like there is water dripping wuit loud into the radiators.

boiler make sentinel x100

Via the filling loops, top it to 1.5bar

 

[John506]

Sentinel x100 is the inhibitor put into your system, I'm guessing it's on a sticker on your boiler?

There should be another name on the front of the boiler, maybe somewere around the pressure gauge?
