it was on 9 psi when checked , I’ve set at 14psi so will turn off the heating tonight and see if it drops .
Coincidentally I found a receipt in the boiler manual and the vessel was bought 14 months ago .
Will let you know how it goes
Tapping on sounds hollow , not a dull tap which normally sounds like water in it .,
out of curiosity do new expansion vessels come pressurised as we’ve not long been in the house and although the boilers only 3 years old the previous owner said he had replaced it for some reason
Oil heatslave 3 years old
Heating and hot water water working fine and been on constant for about 4 weeks , no problem
Turned off the heating and leave hot water on 24 -7 and pressure is on zero the following morning ,
Top up pressure which only takes a second or 2 to reach 1bar and set away...
