Potterton Puma 80e boiler - pressure won't stabilise

[jessp79]

Please can someone help me?

I bled my radiators early as they were making an awful noice. After I did this my boiler came on with a lower pressure system light and so i looked on this forum and it said to give the boiler more pressure. So I turned the valve on the hose and gave it more pressure but unfortunately I gave it to much - into the red. It went back down to just below the red line and now has stabilised just below - is this ok. I know it is meant to be 1.5 and I have no idea how to get it back down - i am not sure i can bleed radio anymore as nothing left. Is it ok to leave as it? Water and heating seem ok?

It is a potterton puma 80e - thanks a lot
Jess

turn off boiler from switch and bleed any radiator, catch water into a dish or any container until pressure goes down to 1 to 1.5 bar.

Thanks for this - very helpful. I have bleed the radiator and it has reduced the pressure but it is stuck at 2 - will this be sufficient? Thanks again

recheck the pressure when boiler has been left to cool down, it should drop. if not, faulty gauge. The boiler is ok to run at 2bar.. steve
