Topping up the boiler.....

[Scarah911]

I have just moved into a flat with a wall mounted Vaillant TURBOmax VUW GB 282/2-5 boiler (also says TURBOmax Plus 828 E on the serial number label, not sure which name I should be using!).

The pressure gauge is at 0 bar so I need to know how to top the boiler up.

Can anyone help me figure out how to fill it up? (I've tried ringing the support number on the boiler but to no avail!)

I think this vaillant has an integral filling loop but I am not sure, sure one of the others will know for sure

if not can you see a silver hose connecting two pipes together under the boiler?

When I take off the display panel there is a silver pipe behind it connected to the CH at one end, the other leads to a pipe with a black fitting with a big cross in, is this the valve I need to open to top it up?

(I tried to get a photo of it but it's too dark to come out properly!)

Integral filling loop.

look under the boiler, should see the filling kit on righthand side.

usually a black plastic handle.
