Hello - i am trying to repressurise the boiler as its now at zero pressure. When connecting the filling loop (which is quite short and has a braided pipe), I then turn the filling loop isolation valves to the open position, and water leaks from both taps (blue and black). There is no sound/pressure going into the tank, because the water leaks out.

Any suggestions? The pipe is short, slightly twisted and difficult to attach to the isolation valve - is there a washer missing or some other part which causes the water to leak and not go straight in?

Help Please

Natasha
 
There should be a rubber washer both ends, look in the blank caps
 
Even if it was leaking which many do have drips from if not tightened on properly it should still pressurise. Tighten on a bit more, put a basin underneath and open both valves fully and shut off when you get to 1 - 1.5 bar

Looking for some help here - not my boiler, so consider me a proxy. I'm also by no means a heating engineer: I'm just looking for pointers, as the owner of this boiler is now caught firmly between "not us", "not us" and "not us" - nobody will take responsibility, and just calls into question...

The central heating circuit is slightly low on pressure so I tried to top it up with the built in filling loop. Nothing happens. No mains water gets pushed into the heating return pipe. I disconnected the filling loop on the heating side to test the double-check valve, and mains water comes...
