Hi
I'm new to the forum so apologies if I've posted incorrectly. (if I have please let me Know.)
My combi boiler has started losing pressure. I noticed last night when I turned on the hot water tap, but the boiler didn't light. I filled the boiler via the filling loop to about 1 bar, but when I got home from work this afternoon I checked the boiler and the pressure had dropped to about 0.5 bar.
The boiler's a Main combi 24 HE, about 18 months old.
Before I call out a service engineer can anyone suggest a likely cause? I've checked the boiler, radiators and exposed pipework and can't find any sign of leaks.
If the best advice is to call out the engineer, is it okay to leave it until the new year, and just keep filling up the boiler?
Final question -the user guide for the boiler says to fill the boiler between 0.5 and 1 bar. I've read some threads in the forum which suggest up to 1.5 to 2 bar. What's best?
any advice appreciated.
