    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me understand how to repressurise my Worcester boiler. I have watched videos online, and the guys always use a boiler key or turn a blue lever. My boiler doesn't have either option and the pressure has dropped to zero.

    I will try and attach some pictures. I have removed the panelling.

    I've also checked other areas for levers such as the hotpress and attic.

    First off, you should not be taking off the cover as there are no user service items inside.
    It is illegal to remove the cover unless you are a Registered Gas Installer.

    You are looking for the automatic filling valve that you had replaced / repaired five months ago.
    See this thread.. https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057817906/1/#post105513634
    If you cannot find it then it may be easier to contact the person who replaced / repaired it for you.

    Thanks K.Flyer. I didn't know that about the cover, but I'll know for again. The auto filling valve was there alright, but I think there wasn't enough pressure behind it to push water into the boiler.

    The guy had to momentarily connect up the shower pump to bring the water pressure back up. Then the boiler gets 1.5 isobars, then everything is switched back.
