In the last week my Vaillant boiler pressure is dropping to zero several times a day. I can re-pressurise it easily enough but I am worried that I may have a leak in the system. I can't find any leaking around the radiators. When I got home at 6 last night it was at zero again although I had increased it to 1.5 that morning. The heating is working ok after I increase the pressure. I had to re-pressurise at least 3 times last night and it was on zero this morning. I paid over £100 for a scale preventing thingy and my central heating boiler and system is on a British Gas service contract. I thought it was expensive at £21 a month and am trying to cut down on expenses, so I rang them up and they said I could change it to £15 a month but that would mean I have to pay £50 each time something needs doing. (I asked if it would still be £50 even if the cost of repair was a few pounds and they said yes!!). As I had paid for the scale preventer I thought reducing the payment from £21 to £15 would be ok as I thought I would not have as many problems with it. WRONG!! Typical, now I've got problems with the flipping pressure dropping! AAAAAAAAAARGH!! Any ideas? Thanks.
