The system pressure on my Baxi 80e boiler is down to just under 0.5 so obviously it needs topping up. I figure that I should just be able to do this myself (as with other boilers I've had in the past), but the handbook says that I must call a service engineer.

Is it possible to top up this boiler myself or do I really have to call someone out?

Mine is, as mentioned, a loop flexi with a tap at one end about 2 feet below the boiler.

Refill slowly & not too much! Correct levels are one thing that is included in my manual. Nothing mentioned on location as they couldn't anticipate where the tap is fitted since it's not part of the boiler.

yes you can there will either be a filler loop near the boiler (a metal flexi hose vith a valve on it or an integrated one in the boiler , it will tell you where in your instructions
