Hi,
I have recently moved in to a new house which has some different types of radiators, some 2 bars deep, some only one. The house is over two floors and I have a combi boiler - Vaillant Eco Pro 24.
The pressure was lowish but I have increased it so it is mid way up the gauge by reading other advice. I have read the other posts and think I might have to flush them out as none of them are very hot at all.
One pipe in is warm (not hot though) and the other bottom pipe is cold.
There is some warmth at the top of the radiator, and a little on the same side as the warm pipe going in but the rest is cold or tepid at best.
What do I need to do? Is it sludge or something to do with the exit pipe being cold?...The one radiator which works best (but has a sofa in front of it) has both in and out pipes hot!
Ideally a cheap fix as having an extension soon and boiler will need to be moved as a result!
Cheers!
