What a lifesaver. Would have wasted a fortune on a weekend call out without this. Would have been helpful if my installer had flagged this up as something to look out for that I could fix myself. Anyway, this is a clear and thorough video. Thank you!

Hi

Thanks for posting this. I have a Vaillant Combi boiler. I have re-pressurised and yet hot water is not always coming through. Sometimes it does, but takes ages to come through, sometimes it doesnt. If i turn on the central heating then it does come on...

Any suggestions?

Thanks kindly

@wroughtonca Thanks for your question. What you're experiencing may relate to another issue - it would probably be best to contact your boiler's manufacturer for further advice. Glad our video could help a little though. Thanks, Worcester.

@muppetman777777777 Thanks for your comment - we're not sure which boiler you have but it sounds like your installer may have fitted an optional 'built-in filling link' which is absolutely fine. Our Technical Enquiries department is always avaliable if you need them if you have any other concerns - 0844 892 3366 Many thanks.

i'd like to add my thanks for posting this video. well explained and easy to follow. I'd also like to add that my installer fitted two release valves so i didnt actually need the screwdriver or the rag to catch the water. I just switched off and opened the two valves until it reached the 1.5 bar on the gauge. Is this now the standard set up?

Many thanks for a very clear instruction. My boiler is now operating again after displaying an error message that the system required repressurisation.

Thanks again.
