upstairs heating problem

Zeppi

Evening all,

Maybe someone can help me solve this issue, I have oil central heating and I have a problem with the upstairs rads, two of them the bottom part is hot and rest of the radiators are cold but the downstairs rads are piping hot.

Do I need to bleed the upstairs rads?

any help is much appreciated.

Bleed and top up water pressure to 1.25 bar.
It might take a few repeats on both till rads are full of water.

Hi Scudo, as per the picture attached the pressure is nearly 2 bar so I don't think it's a pressure issue.

It will be once you bleed the rads.

Yeah, Bleed the rads first and see what happens. If you have water straight away, it is another issue. First steps first, though.

Bleed rads, if water comes it may be a weak circulating pump.
