Low pressure and cool radiator!

[StrikerOne]

Hi,
Am hoping someone can help. We have a worcester 28Si combi boiler central heating system. we're experiencing two problems at the moment.
1) Hallway radiator is cold, have tried to bleed, water comes out, but temp doesn't rise?
2) Boiler water pressure now very low, pipes making noise when heating on and we draw hot water?

Am guessing that we need to raise boiler pressure and fill the radiator system with more water, but not sure how to do either?

Help somebody??

thanx, striker

youve answered your own question. with the boiler there will be a set of user instructions. these will take you through the process on how to fill the system.

look for a silver braided pipe under the boiler open the tap and watch the pressure guage 1 1.2 cold

Check both valves on hall rad are open after filling system, maybe got a bit of dirt in them, try turning on and off a couple of times

Thanks for the advice, will attempt to follow what you've said. I did look at the instructions, some of it was a bit confusing, some made sense. appreciate the help, didn't want to just have a go without advice!

Thanks,

Hi all,

Thanx for the help and advice, filling the system was a doddle and the pressure is up! All rads working fine except the one in the hall, but i'll take care of that baby at the weekend!!!

Thanx again,

Striker
