    hi guys
    i have three downstairs rads that will not heat up.
    i have put in sludge fluid to clean the rads, i tried to bleed them, i have tried to drain down the system . after all that it is still not heating up. the rads upstairs work fine and one rad downstairs that is connected directly to the fire/oil heating (dual heating)

    before i put in the fluid i had the same problem. when i put it in they started working for almost 3 weeks and then they stoped working again that's what prompted me to drain it down

    any help would be great the pipes to the lockshield and trv get hot

    Adding sludge products are a waste of time unless followed by a mechanical powerflush with the proper flushing procedures adhered to.
