Vaillant ecoTEC 937 not repressurising

[toadhall]

hi,
I have just bled all my radiators and have lost pressure on the radiator system to 0.6 bar, just below the 0.7bar required for the central heating to fire.

There are two grey valves beneath the boiler for repressurizing

I have turned both to the on position (and tried every possible combination of positions) and the system won’t repressurise. I can’t hear any water flow into the system ( with my ear pressed against the boiler!) and the readout is stuck on 0.6bar.

Any suggestions how I what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks
Toby

If either (or both) lever was stiff to turn I'd suspect the grey plastic cap has cracked / sheared where it covers and turns the brass valve stem. Try taking the plastic covers off and turning the valve stems with spanner / grips / pliers.

Thanks. Do the grey plastic caps pull off?

Mate, just took the plastic caps off and turned the valve with a screwdriver. It worked. Pressure back and boiler working.

Thank you very very much.
