Glow worm 18si pressure problem

dubsgirl · 2011-01-03 22:54:27

Hi All Glow worm 18si boiler is at 0.3 bar and heating system won't fire up. Any idea how to re-pressurise the boiler? Nothing obvious at boiler or hot press to do this? Thanks for any help :)

These boilers can be changed to work on low pressure with an engineer code.
Maybe your installer can service your boiler and change it for you.

Should be in the hot press or the attic, and should have a pressure gauge attached to it. Not always though. If you post a pic of you're hot press we can tell you if its there.
