Help!
I have a Worcester Greenstar cdi classic boiler and it's got water pouring out the filling key tube.
I refitted a radiator yesterday that had been off the wall whilst decorating, I bled the radiator and then checked the boiler and it was showing 0 pressure. In the normal way, I inserted the filling key (aligning with the open padlock) and twisted the white knob to begin repressurising. As it got towards 1.5, I turned the white knob off but the pressure continued rising and finally aettled around 4!
I since bled the radiators to reduce the pressure back to a normal level.
The issue is, whenever I turn the mains water on, water pours from the filling key tube. The pressure of this increases the more I open the mains water. I can see that there is a small hole (looks like it should be there as opposed to a crack) about halfway up the filling key tube and this is where the water is coming from.
The white repressuring knob is definitely closed, I have used a spanner to tighten.
The boiler seems to be working ok otherwise but obviously just the issue of the water coming out the bottom!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
