Hi, I was loosing pressure on my 30sxi boiler and it was cutting out, every time I added water and pressurized it it would lasted for a day or so and lost pressure and cut out again. I'm quite handy at DIY and saw a thread saying that it was probably a faulty PRV and when I check the drain pipe on the outside wall it was constantly dripping so I bought the part and replaced it yesterday, but when I turned all the feeds back on and switched the boiler on it made some loud gurgling noise like a lot of air and tripped out with an F5 fault code! I googled it and saw that it mean I needed to re set the red overheating switch for this which I found and did and although a bit noisy to start with it all started working and no dripping from the outside pipe attached to the PRV. Now, the issue is that this morning it had all tripped out again and was showing 0.0 Bar of pressure, I re filled to 1.5 Bar and it all started working I checked all rads and two of them needed bleeding quite a bit, the pressure was then lost quite quickly and I re pressured with water back to 1.5 Bar but I took a look at the outside pipe and its now dripping a lot even to the extent of a small constant trickle! and it took the boiler back to cutting out and showing 0.0 Bar.
So is the PVR releasing water again due to air in the system or would it be something else?? any help advise would be much appreciated
