No hot water or heating

[dizzeelee]

I have the Vaillant ecoTEC pro 28 boiler, no flame is displayed on the boiler screen or programme screen. On the boiler screen there's a picture of a spanner (surely can't be good), and It's displaying 0.5 bar. Any quick fixes or do I need a plumber round ASAP? Thanks in advance!

you need to increase the pressure in the heating side should be around 1-1.2bar cold

if you have two valves

I have two valves, but it's a different setup to the one shown in the video. The Valves connected to a pipe labelled Magnetic scale reducer. Does that change anything? Also are the caps a standard size or do they vary for each boiler system?

turn the right one first down and then slowly open the left one down until you see pressure rise your aiming for about 1.2 bar max cold and then boiler should be ok if not turn power off then back on

open both of those and fill till pressure is 1 bar, carefully does it tho

Went over to 1.3 as the screen changed over as I was doing it. Will bleeding the radiators get that down? Also I Just held the off button and It hasn't turned off so should I turn off at switch?
