Mend Vokera Mynute 20SE Boiler Heating Leaks

Trouble with Vokera Mynute 20SE Boiler?

My boiler loses pressure. If I charge it to 1.5bar then when the burner comes on the pressure can vary up to > 3.0bar (that's when I quickly switch it off). If I leave it for a while the pressure falls back to 0.5bar. The boiler can run at 0.5bar and when the burner comes on the pressure goes up to about 1.3 - 2.0bar. There are no obvious leaks from boiler, pipes or radiators. Any suggestions?

Terri,
Thanks for the info. I had a look at the car type shrader and there are small bubbles coming from it. When I press the nipple then water comes out. Should it not be air that comes out?

hi ,,
the problem you have is a not that unusual, at the top of the boiler and at the rear there is a tank,or a pressure vessle.
this needs to be periodicaly recharged with compressed air.
if you look at the top of this vessle you will see a car type shrader valve in wich you attach a car/bicyle type pump to.

recharge the tank till your gauge reads 1 bar or 15 psi however
your gauge tells you.
you can purchase a cheap car type gauge from any diy place for about 2.99p and the gauge comes attached to the pump.

hope this is of use,,,,,
