Boiler error E119 help

[Gardner95x]

Hi all,

Have had no hot water since this morning and have found out that I need to repressure my boiler as the pressure is low (The needles hovering over 1), I've watched videos on Youtube showing how to do it and it seems straightforward but my pipework under the boiler is drastically different so I will need some help with it.

The filling loop is in your 2nd picture, it's just the kind that needs a screwdriver rather than having handles to turn.
I wouldn't have thought 1 bar was low enough to cause an error code, what pressure is recommended for your boiler?

I thought it was, I did try and turn it using a screwdriver but nothing is happening and I'm not quite sure, all I can see is that it should be between 1 and 2.5

did you open both of them??????



make sure there pointing up or down (vertical) to open and horizontal to close

Opened them both, now what do I do next?

Can't turm left valve, too tight

thats your problem and the valve will need to be replaced

(filling loop)

Did you try turning both ways?

Try turning it the other way, it may be a quarter turn valve and only turns 90 degrees from off, to on, then back

EDIT Gassafe beat me to it
Also, if you have over 1 bar in the system (or the gauge is showing over 1 bar) you may have a fault on the boiler that needs looking at by a GSR fitter/plumber
