Hi,
My new flat has a Worcester 350 combi. One of the radiators needed bleeding, so I did the honours today and after an enormous amount of air bled through it started working fine. Soon after, the combi stopped working, and the "low pressure" light came on. I'm hoping there's nothing seriously wrong and the system just needs topping up with water. However I can't figure out how to use the filling loop. Googling old threads, the filling loop looks just like this: http://www.pegler.co.uk/img/prod/DB_images/30055_a.jpg - a metal pipe with a screw at one end and an allen-key thingy at the other. But what do I do with it? I tried turning the screw and I could hear water gushing but it didn't seem to move the water pressure meter. Should I turn the bolt on the other end as well? Also, I now seem to have a slow dripping from the "allen-key" end of the loop. Is this bad? In case it's not obvious, I don't have much of a clue about these things, but would really like hot water without having to call a plumber next week! Zara |
