Vokera Compact Combi loosing pressure

Hi

I have a Vokera Combi model Compact A, and it is 6 years old, no longer under warranty. I did not experience any issues with it, really it was very nice and cost efficient boiler so far… unfortunately last week it started to break. When I went to the boiler to see what is going on, I saw that the pressure needle was down (located on the left, was under 0.5 bar). Ok, I thought I found the issue, I re-filled system pressure using directions from this site- troubleshooting section, and it was all fine… till next evening when I realized that radiators are not so warm… again. I went down to see what is wrong at the boiler and you know what? Pressure needle was again on red 0.5 bar. Can someone help? What is causing system loosing the pressure over 24 hours?

Hi Dan,

Most obvious reason for loosing the pressure is leak. You need to find it, if it is not a puddle under your boiler, the leak will be inside of your boiler, you need to get the cover off and check where the water is- that is where the fault is. Most probably this part will need to be replaced, in some cases additional parts that got in touch with water will need to be replaced too.
