Mend Vaillant VCW 282E Boiler Heat Exchanger Water Pressure

Water pressure going down?

I have a Vaillant VCW 282E model,15yrs old.Recently I noticed the water pressure going down from 1.5 to 0 in less than 8 hours. Could it be due to a leakage (some pipes are under concrete) or could there be other reasons for this to happen. Heat exchanger replaced recently.What happens if I continue to put the heating on without refilling to 1.5 bar.Is there a reputable leak finder in Newham. Thanks

check the saftey valve it could be leaking from there, if so the pressure vessel may need recharging and possibly the saftey valve replacing

I have a similar problem to John. Water pressure falls about 1 bar in 12-15 hours, then the system has to be topped up. I have examined all water pipe connections and radiators but found no leaks so the only component I can thik of next is the boiler There are no obvious signs of water leakage so could it be the heat exchangers, diverter valve?.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
