I take it you mean the pressure guage is low. There should be a flexible pipe (filling loop) near the boiler with a tap on each, or one end. This is usually under the boiler but may be hidden in a cupboard nearby. You will have to search for it.
What sort of 'expert' did you have round?

the expert was from butco a local corgi registered firm i have looked for flexible pipe and cannot find any the only thing like it is a tube going to the motor, there is no tap anywhere it's weird .ADRIAN K said:HI 1st time i've used this need help just had a specialist round who could not tell me how to adjust the low pressure in my system, says he'll be back tomorrow can anybody out there tell me thanks

Thanks for reply going back for another look
Thanks Dave its a house only just moved into have just removed two cupboards by dis-assembling them and found your pipe and pressure adjustment which is now set corrctly still need the corgi bloke though because other problem of heating continually going on and off is happening still he put this down to venturis
cheers again ada
If you can't find anything you could back fill it with a garden hose via a drain cock for now.
I don't think this boiler has a built in filling loop. Occasionally it may be a 'hard' piped filling loop in copper. This is very rare but I have seen it a couple of times.

Don't know how this site works but thanks Dave read abovegas4you said:
The 'gasman' said he could do that but after phoning manufacturers help line he told me the best bet was to change the venturis whilst the fan was strippd because it's a 'big job' and he could get all the information about the system from the net as to where and how i put the pressure up which i have now done thanks to you.
If you want manual try this

Perhaps he knows that some of the Ferollis have a venturi made of some kind of material which falls apart if you touch it?
Or perhaps he needs MI to find out where the venturi is or how to clean it?

as usual tony is right the modena venturi falls apart if you look at it,blast it with a compressor and you will be in the mire if it is grey replace it with a new one[red or white]personally i would prefer if you would use someone competent and familiar with the modena not your "expert".their is a quick and easy way to check the venturis without opening the combustion chamber as anyone familiar or competent would know

My gas fitter didn't show today so i thought i would have a quick look i gave a gentle tap around the fan and inlet points but noticing some dirt in what i've now found out to be the flue sampling point i inserted my pencil to remove it not really knowing what iwas doing i reassembled the unit hoping that the fitter turns up tomorrow trouble is everything is now working i'm still getting the unit serviced but putting a pencil down the flue sampling point has me wondering if i could have damaged anything has anyone any answers for me ta
