My rads upstairs in bedrooms today only getting warm. The bathroom and ensuite are not used but when trouble shooting today they got red hot when on.

Downstairs rads all get hot very quickly, and hot water works. But rooms only warm. 1 bedroom was cold. I understand balancing a system, but that shouldnt matter if i only have 2-3 rads on upstairs.

I have a honeywell system, hr92 valves and hot water kit, two port to separate hot water and rads. I tried calling for heat and manually opening valves also in rooms and still warm, feed and expansion full and functional. I bled all rads upstairs but no air seemed to be trapped, the pipes in the hot press that I suppose supply the upstairs rads were red hot.

Id love to post a pic but im not sure how

Any works gone on since the system last worked ?
 
Try setting that back to how it was

Expansions vessel pressure is 0, will this affect the heating/rads upstairs
