I've got a Worcester Greenstar 38CDi Classic ErP with a keyless filling link. One of the rads has a tiny leak so every few months I have to top up the system (and bleed a rad upstairs). I should get the leak fixed but since it's so minor I haven't bothered.
My actual problem is that the system is SO SLOW to fill. It takes around 30 mins of holding that stupid blue lever to get the pressure to just over 1 bar.
In the manual it shows the blue plastic fill lever can be pulled down a full 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical, but on my boiler it doesn't even get to 45 degrees from horizontal before stopping entirely. No amount of pressure will shift it further - I'm pretty sure I'll just snap the lever if I try harder.
Is this normal? The water pressure in the house is fine generally, so I'm thinking the problem lies with the boiler itself.
(Also, I'm in Scotland, not Sweden, despite what this site thinks.)
