Jaguar boiler problem

[Harry Palmer]

Hi

I've just moved into a new flat which has a Jaguar combi boiler thing. It has an error message of F0 showing, which I think is to do with the system pressure being too low. I'm hoping it's not a leak. Does anyone know what else it could be, and how I sort it out. I'd like to avoid getting a plumber in as buying the place has pretty much cleaned me out!

I'm a total novice with this sort of thing, so an idiot's guide would be helpful.

Thanks

SYSTEM PRESSURE SHOULD BE ABOUT 1 BAR IF NOT TOP IT UP USING THE FILLING KIT NORMALLY A SILVER BRAIDED HOSE WITH A TAP ON THE END CONECT IT FIRST IF NOT ALREADY CONNECTED

Jaguars were produced by Hepworth (Glowworm) Heating for the Plumb CentRE to rebrand. They are, I think, very similar to the Protherm range, so a search around those keywords should reveal an online user manual.

If you're right about F0 being the low pressure alarm use the "mode" button to get the display to show the system pressure. Then find the filling loop (flexible link from cold mains to heating pipes) and fill to 1 bar cold.

Repost if that fails to fix it.

I have this boiler, F0 is central heating system pressure loss, it cuts out on 0.6 bar. There should be a main water connection to the boiler with a tap. Just need to top this up to until it 1 - 2 bar.
