vaillant turbo_pro - opened the valves but still no pressure?? any ideas would be greatly received as we have a baby in the house and no hot water or heating.
Plus our house is rented and we cant seem to get in touch with the landlord which dosent help.

Hi thanks 4 the quick reply, i have no idea what i am doing im only going off what ive been reading on the forums as i have no manual to refer to. Ive quarter turned both the left and right valves underneath (with a flathead, not touched the middle one cos im taking it that the gas) but nothing seems to be happening. When you turn the hot water tap on its hot for about 3-4 secs, then starts making weird screaming noises, then cuts out with the hourglass flashing on the front. The model is a Vaillant turbomax vu gb 242-3 - pro 24e.
Thanks again 4 replying i dont use the internet much and didnt think anyone would reply.

Hi,
Sounds like you may have closed the main Flow/Return isolators under the boiler, these should be left open (the slot parallel/ inline with the pipe).

To fill/re-pressurise the boiler (what it sounds like your trying to do), you should look under the boiler on the 4 th pipe (from left), at some point there will be a filling loop (likely flexi braided hose) that will have the filling valve on that - you need to open until the system pressure - on boiler guage, reaches 1.0 -1.5 bar then close filling loop again.

What is the guage currently reading?
