Hi,
I have just recently bought a house which came with a Vokera Linea combi boiler already installed. Best I can tell it is about 10 years old.
The problem I have is that if I top the boiler pressure up to 1 bar, within 2-3 days the boiler will drop back down to 0!
I thought initially that this might be the PRV but after topping up and running the CH for 30mins or so the boiler only reached 1.5 bar and remained constant at that.
What confused me even more is that last weekend I went away for a few days and before I went I topped the boiler up to 1 bar. On my return the pressure was back down to 0! The heating was turned off and obviously no hot water was used either.
I just don't know where to go from here??? I'd rather not get an engineer out just yet if there are further investigations I can do first.
Surely I would notice if this amount of water was leaking from somewhere wouldn't I?
Thanks in advance for your help!
