Ideal vogue combi 40kw

[TonyS65]

Hello, pressure dropping rapidly after being set to 1.5bar drops to 0 within a few minutes.
I’ve been round all the radiators bled them checked for leaks (none found) and re-pressurised, dropping back to zero again.
No water dripping from ceilings or around skirting boards, any suggestions, do these boilers have an issue with this?
Any direction appreciated.

Morning, have you checked if water is going through the condensate drain or the pressure relief copper pipework outside?

No but I will do this morning now you’ve told me If it is will it be an easy fix or should I just get Ideal out to it ?

 

[IND_Nick]

Both outcomes would need to be resolved by a gas engineer. You could use a local one or contact Ideal, whichever you prefer.

Hello again, just got my wife to pressurise the loop whilst I stood outside and watched a consistent drip of water out of the pipe

I also found out that the engineer who installed it issued a gas cert to me but didn’t register it with gas safe but did with Ideal.
What can I do to resolve this as he isn’t responding to any texts or calls?

Check the analogue and digital pressure gauge give the same reading?

 

[Gasmk1]

Check with ideal as registering with the manufacturer they carried the cost of the gas safe registering,

Which pipe is dripping, the copper pressure relief pipe or the condensate plastic waste?

Hello, it’s the plastic one that’s dripping quite profusely when I pressurised the system.
