Hello all,
I've got a vented central heating system with a Baxi Solo boiler.
It's been working well until I noticed that my upstairs radiators were cold at the top and hot at the bottom, so I bled them. Not much water came out though, and there was a lot of bubbling in the pipes, then the pump squeeled, lots of banging etc. Then the vent on the radiator stopped hissing so I closed the valve, not much water came out.
This was done with the pump on, (sorry), I think I've sucked in more air and made the situation worse.
Now I have no heat or hot water, think this is due th the fact that there is a lot of air in the syetem.
The boiler lights, but with the air in the system it quickly overheats and the thermal cut-out operates. For the few mins that the boiler is on, the system sounds as though it is trying to expelling air.
Basically, my central heating needs to fart, but can't!
