Looking for some help please. For some time, my boiler has been losing pressure. If I top the pressure up to 1 bar, it will take about 3-4 hours to drop to 0 bar. Its a combi and this happens with heating and hot water.
I have had a plumber look at it, and he told that as the boiler still provides hot water for taps and heating, there cant be a problem and it must be a faulty gauge.
Im not convinced of this at all. When I turn on my heating, the pressure will rise to about 1.5 bar, then once the heating goes off, it drops to 0 again after a couple of hours.
Ive checked rads, valves and theres no evidence of any leaks, but could the gauge be faulty? I cannot inspect the pipework easily as its all beneath the floors.
My insurance covers this, but wanted a bit of advice before I call them, just in case its an easy fix or it is the gauge.
Thanks.
