Vaillant EcoTEC Combi Boiler - pressure / water issue ?

[denso13]

I'm used to paying £150-180 for a day for plumbing work

£19 - £23 per hour? Good luck with that. Perhaps explains the trouble you're in now.

Would be about an hour but expect to pay around £150 for a proper eng to fix it properly with warranty, ur paying for the knowledge not the time

Thanks to everyone. All sorted. It was as stardanny had suggested. For some reason the flexi hose must have been taken off when the boiler was moved and then put back on the wrong part of part of cold inlet. Swapped around and all working fine

Sorry to revive this old thread, someone mentioned that loss of pressure could be from the 15mm external pipe, which is exactly what I'm getting. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is an easy remedy.

Was planning on draining the system tomorrow. At the moment pressure drops so I get f.22 then when I put 1 bar in, it shoots up to 3 bar when the heatings on. Which isn't ideal. It then slowly drains via the exterior pipe.
