Bain of my life Baxi 105e

you need to drain at least a bucket or two
then the prv might re-seat itself,but there could be just a bit of dirt from stopping this
if thats the case just replace it
the pressure inside the ev should be about .8
the actual system pressure should be about 1.5 bar when it is cold and disconnect the filling loop when this is done.
use a simple tyre guage to check the pressure in side the ev
don't use the pressure guage on the unit , that is only for telling you the system pressure
also when you only got air out of the ev that shows the diaphragm is not burst
good practise would be to add a pipe to the prv to drain outside
once you have done this it would be a good idea to clean the system and add an inhibitor

Ok so drain the system by turning the pressure release valve (bucket or 2)
Pump up the EV to .8
Clean the system and add inhibitor
repressurize and hope for the best right?

baxi do a 1 price call out it costs £289 and you pay by direct debit over 10 months
they will fix any problem and then insure you boiler for 1 year only drawback is you can only call them out every 28 days on insurance

they just changed a control panel on a powermax part to me was £270 so worth a try for an easy life
