Ok my boiler blew a board
so I have swapped it and I now have hot water again
but the pressure gauge is low (I guess caused by using the stsyem when busted) so how do I get the gauge up do I need to bleed the rads
if so how
Boiler is a Potterton Puma 80e Combi

you need to find your filling loop(usually a flexy braided hose with a small tap or two on it)
then fill the system till the gauge reads 1.5
the filling loop will be connected between a 22mm pipe and a 15mm pipe
and it should be close to the boiler usually directly underneath but depends who fitted it and when youve done that make sure the tap(s)you have opened are closed again properly
then fill the system till the gauge reads 1.5

red and blue taps dont move
but I found a black one
which sounded like it put in water and Im now boosting on 1.5bar
The water when the pressure is low seem to pulse hot and then colder could this be caused by the lack or pressure
thanks people top advice

if your hot water out the tap plays up when the pressure is low then that may be the cause BUT if it carries on doing it at normal pressure ( say 1.5 bar) then youve got a problem......you better call the A TEAM...lol
