i have a combi worcester 350. i recently tried to increase the temp on the thermostat only to find that the pressure baloons above 3 resulting in loss out the side wall.

any ideas what this might be.

also. ocassionally when i turn the hot tap on it runs cold. I then have to make repeated attempts until hot water comes through?

i spoke with a friend who said to check the pressure vessel. he said to drain the pressure to nothing and then repressurise the vessell with a pump up to 1 bar.

i have done this and it seemed to work however the same problem has occurred 1 day on.

the pressure seems to drop below 1 bar when the heating is off resulrting in topping up.

i am now at a complete loss?

fear that if i leave it the pressure will go to 0.

have checked all rads and no sign of any leaks.

when the temp is on low the system seems ok it only when i increase this the pressure goes above 3?

any thoughts
