I am so grateful to Gerry for posting this video. I am freezing in my son's flat, waiting 4hrs for someone to call, 1c outside (Scotland), the blanket I found not really helping. Suddenly thought, boiler pressure. Google, RUclips and Gerry's video. SORTED 😊
Glad to hear it 😊
This man was excellent. I watched his (very clear) video but I put the pressure up too much. I phoned him and he phoned me straight back. He was extremely kind and helpful. Very much appreciated.
Your more than welcome
Thank you, I have tried for weeks to increase the pressure on my boiler. Your video is so easy to follow, which is what I needed.
This is what makes my day, when I can help people out of a dilemma 🙃
Wow! Brilliantly done. I followed the steps and my boiler is right up....
Thank you for the comment, happy to help Dinesh
Good clear direction of what to do. Heating and hot water back on now. Cheers
Thank you
Thanks, using this video second time to add pressure! Very helpful and straightforward to businesses.
Glad its helpful for you ... Happy New Year!
Thank you for uploading this video my boiler has not been working the past week and its dead on winter, these easy and simple to follow instructions was a life saver Cheers👍.
Glad it helped :)
Brilliant and direct I just needed a better view on the knobs that you are speaking about thankyou
Glad we could help Rosemarie ... I’ll try and redo one next time we’re on a Vokera
Thank you for this video, I was able to increase pressure in my Vokera Boiler Vision 25C.
Fab
Thanks, i just used your video to sort my boiler pressure out.
Straightforward no problems,thanks.
Your welcome
Thanks pal , really 👍💯 this boiler of my mums has been doing my head in, 🤯 this video sorted it for me . Cheers mate 💯
Thanks for the feedback. Glad I could help
Thanks dude fixed it first try awsome content this video ranked first when I searched for my boiler keep up the great work
Glad I could help
this solved my problem. thank u so much for posting this video.
You're welcome!
when i open my open/ close valve after i open the filling loop the open/close valve leaks what should i do (the boiler pressure also doesnt increase during this)
had the boiler man out to fix mine yesterday, the black knob that you said should be closed and turned to right and off wasnt, it was open. Pressure has dropped again. do i top it up and close that knob?
Fantastic. Thanks for this. Boilers and such make me so nervous
Always happy to help and offer advice, no need to be scared
Your a life saver!!
Ah glad we could help
Lifesaver mate! Quick question. I reset the boiler to just over 1 and 8 hours later it’s dropped halfway between 1 and 0.5 (so 0.75 approx). Obviously that’s a bad sign. Can I keep re-setting it every few days and what’s the issue? Thanks
Thanks. Same time next year. 🙂
Brilliant. Thanks for this video!! 👍🏻
your welcome! Happy New Year
Thanks for your video you saved me
Glad it helped.
Clear speech, but camera work shocking, needs to be under boiler so you can see levers and hand movements, could not see a thing, camera too far away from the action.
thanks for the feedback, we will take this on board for our next videos
Hi Gary, always appreciate some constructive feed back. ill make sure future videos include the correct angles :)
Ive got this boiler, pressure was down so topped it up, now the temp display is flashing 54 & 55, this doesnt go off even if the dial is switched to off? No heating or hot water. Any ideas? Cant find anything anywhere which mentions flashing display
Sounds like a faulty sensor buddy
Thanks Gerry
Always welcome x
Top video mate, cheers!
Thanks 👍
With this model setting it to 1.5 will the pressure increase when the heating is on?
This video is great. But for some reason the boiler only has one black tap, the one that turns 90°, and now I dont know what to do. My last place didnt have this issue so the boiler was easy to sort out. I think there is a leak because the bar hasn't dropped below 1 yet, although it is close, and the water pressure has dropped so much
You may have a silver braided pipe.
So my boiler is completely off . The heating was on when I went out and I’ve come home there is nothing . The screen is blank and it’s making no noise .
Hi Cherry. It sounds like a power issue. First check the fuse. If that is ok then get a local engineer (I cover Sheffield and Manchester) you may well need a new PCB
Whenever my boiler is acting up I come back to this video.
Thank u for making me look like a real man in front of my wife 😂😂😂
Glad I can help. And I’m sure you look like a man each and everyday in front of your wife.
Thank you!
Your welcome 😊
Hi I've tried to increase the pressure with the filling loop and black dial but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Hi catherine, so sorry that i have not responded i hope that you are now fully working.
When I top my boiler up with the loop I don't bleed the radiators.Why? Top up above 1 bar.
Hi there I have tried to increase the pressure but nothing is happening ?
Hi Mark is there any sound of water flowing?
Thanks alot this rlly helped
Very helpful thank you
your more than welcome. Happy New Year
Thanks for that, just what I needed to know. I have another problem. I repressurised the boiler to 1.5 Bar, when I turned on the heating for about 20 minutes, the pressure climbed to just over 2.5 Bar and the radiators were hotter than normal. Thermostat on 18 C. Could there be another problem ? It is the first time I have touched the boiler, so out of my comfort zone.
Wheres this video been all my life
glad it helped
Thank you.
You're welcome!
The guy explained that brilliantly about how to increase the pressure, but the pressure is still staying at 1 and l have noticed dirty water on my work top.should l contact my landlord to get the boiler checked.
100% yes
my was at 0.8 now is 1.5 tnx alot
So glad you found our video helpful Paulie
Brilliant - thanks
Hi Gerry. Can you tell me what the yellow knob between them does. Should that be vertical or horizontal in general? After previous couple of annual boiler services the engineers left it different positions. I currently now have it in vertical position. Is this okay and what are the dangers if I have it wrong because I don’t know what this does?
Thanks for the video it was helpful regarding pressure.
Hi Ian, the yellow tap is for gas. this should be vertical. the valve is to isolate the boiler from the supply and i use it to test the cut out function at each service to make sure that the boiler locks out.
@@boilerbreakdownexpert thanks Gerry much appreciated
Cheers saved me 90 quid
Happy to help buddy
Helpful video. If we could have a bit more close up of how the dials and where the pressure should be that would be even better please.
Is the boiler in off or on position? I tried to do it in line with Vokera manual but the arrow is not moving at all. Manual says that boiler should be off but on your video it seems to be on.
Hi the Boiler power is on but no call for heat or hot water. The valve maybe seized.but this is rare.
@@boilerbreakdownexpert thanks, I removed the connector and the valve for water supply is working fine. I did not checked the boiler valve without connector in case of not being able to top up at all. My water pressure in general is weak, can this be the reason and can take longer to top up? Valves are now open for 15min and the arrow did not moved.
The power is on but the physical boiler is off
Should the little open / shut knob on the left be open or shut when my boiler is working as normal? (E.g. when not using the filling loop). I'm sure that mine was already open when I moved into my flat, and now not sure how to leave it!
Hi Gayle, it should be closed, as it reduces the potential for a build up in pressure
@@boilerbreakdownexpert great, now closed. Thanks! 🙂
Great video, would air trapped in radiators reduce boiler pressure?
If the air transfers around to the boiler, it will hit what is called an auto air vent and be expelled, reducing pressure ... the most common fault for pressure lost besides leaks is when the expansion vessel needs recharging or replacing .This can be identified by the pressure rocketing to 3 bar while the boiler is in operation and discharging through the copper pipe outside 👍🏻 Hope this helps buddy
Silly question i didn’t catch what you said. Before I do this do I need to turn off the system to cool down or just do it with the boiler on as normal? My pressure is at 0 but still works heating/hot water
Many thanks
No silly questions here Simon ... just have no request for heat or water and you'll be fine
I put pressure up to 1.5 and did what you said but looked this morning its now at 2.o what happened ?
Sorry realise it goes up when using it
Can someone help
Me if I want my heating off on Vakera boiler for to keep hot water how to do that as if I switch it off for heating hot water isn’t running ;( I’m useless on this sorry
Drop me a call later to explain exactly what it happening, if you have selected summer mode and it’s still heating the radiators it could be a diverted valve issue.
07946515897
seems to of worked, thx
Excellent
if the water pressure is below 1 does it have to do with the water pressure upstairs? we just move in a new house however the water pressure from the showers is very low. I notice with our vokera gas boiler it is below 1. would that fixed it? Thanks in advance
No, the water pressue in the shower is from the mains water supply BUT if the boiler is under sized it will reduce the flow rate to allow for the 35 degree rise in the temperature of the water ...
yes your right thanks a lot sir. we soon found out that our water pump is not working.
Hi mate have a classic model pressure keeps dropping when heating is run for a while, can you advise please.
Hi Eddie, so the first thing is does the boiler hold pressure when not in operation? if no its most likely a leak on the system if yes then the most likely reason is the expansion vessel, this will either need recharging or worst case replacement. If your located in the north and need it looking at let me know info@workwithgroup.co.uk, short of that I'm in touch with other great engineers that id happily use myself if I'm nowhere near.
@@boilerbreakdownexpert sorry it's a comfort model, the pressure rises to near 4bar when fully running then drops to 0 when it turns off, was considering replacing it, probably 10 plus years old I'm on the Isle of Bute what do you think. Thanks
I don't have the black thing I only have an yellow one
Do you know how to reset the boiler? Credit ran out on gas meter and red light turned on. Topped up the credit and can’t get green light to come back on. I don’t have the user manual to hand.
To reset your Vokera Boiler, turn the mode selector to the OFF/RESET position then move it back to the position required dependant up on the time of year.
Gerry my boiler doesn't have the lever on the right it only has a black square with vokera stop cock written on it ? Any advice is appreciated
I would ideally need an image of it to be able to advise properly ... send me one to whats app 07946515897
Best directions
So we are not suppose to touch that central yellow nob😁
Hi, I have no filling loop on my boiler, just a valve saying filling loop????
Hi Eileen if youd like to facetime me on 07946515897 i can talk you through it :)
@@boilerbreakdownexpert hi.... Not sure how to do that.... Sorry...
@@boilerbreakdownexpert don't have apple.
The boiler in the video is not what the tie says, quite misleading
That is a Vokera in the video …
Can't see what bits your twisting!
Thank you for the heads up. I hope you got sorted. I’ll do an up close video when I get the opportunity:)
Am I the only one who doesn't have those black levers?? 🤔🤔🤔
No, quite common, if you dont have either option you should have a silver braided pipe
Tried this and just had water flooding out
Sounds like you needs a repair engineer, I hope you got sorted quick.
