Expansion vessel appears ok, but boiler operating pressure at 3 bar.

[jrtrrror]

Hi.
It would appear that the expansion vessel is ok, and yet the boiler pressure is operating and exceeding 3bar.
The PRV does leak before 3 bar and I know needs replacing, but what could be causing the high operating pressures.
Thanks

What does appear to be ok mean ? If the prv is leaking then you have potentially two components busted ....are you cleared to be taking covers off gas appliances
Or just having a nose ...

What boiler do you have how do you know it’s okay have you tested it?

Now now the expansion vessel isn't necessarily inside the boiler.

I didn’t realise it was a diy ‘er. I didn’t even look. I thought it was a plumber asking for advice.

Either way we can’t do it on open forum fella
