High DIY-safe £80-150 Shared across the EcoBlue Advance range

What to check first

  1. Locate a radiator in your home, preferably one upstairs.
  2. Use a radiator bleed key to slowly open the bleed valve until a small amount of water drips out.
  3. Collect the excess water with a cloth and close the valve tightly once the pressure gauge on the boiler front panel drops back into the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Filling loop
  • Expansion vessel

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low.

High DIY-safe £80-150 Shared across the EcoBlue Advance range

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible metal or silver braided hose underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the valves at both ends of the filling loop to let mains water into the system.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically between 1 and 1.5 bar).
  4. Close both valves tightly and ensure the filling loop is disconnected if it is a temporary type.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure Relief Valve
  • Pressure Sensor

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £0-£80 Shared across the EcoBlue Advance range

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose connecting two pipes underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the small tap or valve on the filling loop to allow cold mains water to enter the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the tap firmly to stop the flow and check that the boiler restarts automatically.

Parts commonly replaced
