How to repressurise your system using the new Worcester Keyless Filling Link 

In future it’s safer to switch off when dealing with water + electricity

It slides into the channels at either side of the boiler (towards the back) and once it's all the way back, slide it forward until it 'hooks' onto the front of the boiler frame. There's like a stepped plastic hook that has to locate on the frame to allow it to sit properly. it may take a few goes but once you've figured it out, you'll do it every time.

Did you find out how to get it back? I still can't

I just leave the bottom cover off!

@@paulinedodd8671 Sorry for the slow reply. I can't remember exactly how I did it, and tbh I'm reluctant to take it off again to find out! I think I fitted one side of it back in first and then manoeuvred the others into place.

You might have a filling loop somewhere else in the heating system (not in the boiler but elsewhere). We were going round the twist trying to work out how to repressurise out Greenstar 18i system - eventually figured it out from reading the installation manual and found the hose near our cylinder.

That's great to hear this video helped :) - Aiden

Same here, did you ever find an answer to this?

@@willheath407 had the same issue last night, switched the boiler off, left it off for 3 hours, then when I tried, the lever worked and I was able to add pressure. Good luck.

@@danw3767 thanks, will give this a try

I don't know how to turn my boiler off

No blue lever in mine! And no key

I can't afford a professional. My water tank blew up and I had no water for 7 weeks. I couldn't take a shower either, nor even wash my hair or dishes. I couldn't cook. I tried to turn the old spigot off but it just kept spinning around. I tried the other spigot and it was spraying water all over the wires. No one cared at all. I eventually loosened the bolt that held that spigot on because I kept trying to turn the water off to STOP the water tank from pouring water out everywhere then turn it back on at times in order to get water to the boiler and heat the house so I wouldn't freeze. Yes I turned the handle over the tank to turn off the water supply but water kept coming in anyway. It's about 0° Celsius and I was so afraid my pipes under the house would break. When the water was on.. the tank was pouring water badly so I needed to leave it off but when the water was turned off the boiler had no water to heat my home. I was dirty and freezing. I even tried to get donations with GoFundMe on Facebook but all I got were people trying to scam me. The plumber actually quoted me $1600 for the water tank and install while the other plumbers wanted $1800. When I told him he was the cheapest... he raised his price to $1748. That upset me so much because he knew I didn't have it. I was so mad that I suffered an additional 2 weeks to find another person. I ended up paying $401 plus tax for a water tank (there was a recent flood here so it was very hard to find a tank for a full month and $300 for the install. I told the real plumber I didn't have enough money to pay him and asked if I could bu my own tank (he agreed and a week later changed his mind because he needed more money). The greedy piglet. That just upset me SO much that I refused to have him back in my house. There are 2 parts the plumber said I needed fixed on my boiler called Air vents. He wanted $300 to get 2 of those and install them. I finally found them online at only $12 each x 2 = $24 x. 06% tax. Well my point is that theif wanted $300 ($275 to install these two little pieces that ya just hand screw in). If I can understand how to put them in and what to do along with it then I can save money I really don't have. I can hear "loads" of bubbles in the entire house. When I put the brass air vents on the boiler I don't know if I'm supposed to turn the water off, turn the boiler switch off or maybe electricity or what. I'm trying to find directions (I keep finding videos of large boilers while mine is so small). One of the vents are leaking badly and the other seems clogged. I need to know where to find that hose that I put water back in after bleeding. I don't think I have that but if I buy one I wouldnt even know where it goes.

Happy to read the video helped 😊 - Aiden

@@WorcesterBoschHeating I do not have the blue lever nor the white square, nor the white key. I have photographs of the internal thing, no good to try the external either. What can I do??

Hi there I have the 3rd generation keyless with the blue plastic lever but it disent seems to work I tried to pull it but it seems free no water guzing or pressure gauge movement t Please advice

@@conniesosa5177I’m in the same boat I have none of those either and my pressure on gauge is low. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Barbara, this is perfectly normal, there's just some air trapped inside the boiler following the top-up. You may need to bleed the radiators in the property to chase it out and then top it up again. Hope this helps, EH

Hi @arnaldoauletta9496, we're sorry to hear this. Please give our technical team a call on 0330 123 3366 and we'll get you back up and running. Many thanks, EH

@@WorcesterBoschHeating Hi, thanks for your reply! In the meantime I solved the problem with the help of a British Gas guy who came for boiler general maintenance! Have av nice day Arnaldo

You need to pull the blue lever downwards mate until you hear the water pressure building up, just until the gauge is in the green area ...

I had the same problem. If you look carefully at the blue lever you can see that it supposed to pull down a pin (which goes into the valve). I suppose that this pin can get seized up over time. With a small hammer, if you tap upwards on the area of the lever attached to the pin (*not* the free end of the lever!) it should free this pin up. It worked for me!

Hi Caroline, if you're still having problems with your boiler pressure we'd recommend giving our Technical Support Team a call on 0330 123 3366. They'll then be able to go through some troubleshooting with you.

Hi Ashiq, It is quite normal to have to top up your pressure roughly 2 or 3 times a year. It sounds like you may have an issue with the water pressure to your property but it is hard to tell based on your description. I would recommend calling our tech team on 0330 123 3366 as they should be able to help advise 😊 - Aiden

That was exactly what I was wondering (I've got a fault code on my Greenstar 8000, 1017) - in a slight predicament, wondering if I just pull the lever... I guessing that's the answer. Don't find the instruction manual very helpful, hence finding my way here.

Good morning, If you are talking about the thing to the left, that is the condense trap. This collects condense waste from the boiler and then flushes it when it gets full enough. I wouldn't advise opening it up again, but it wouldn't of damaged the boiler in anyway 😆👍 - Aiden

@@WorcesterBoschHeating thanks.

Hi Steve, if this is happening it could be that the water to your property is playing up or the pressure method has failed. I would recommend giving our tech team a call on 0330 123 3366 as they may be able to help 😊👍 - Aiden

Let water out of a radiator and keep an eye on the boiler guage until it drops down to where you want it, usually 1.5.

Andrew, did you figure out what the issue was in the end?

@@deveshm85 Hiya. Yes, the problem was with the pipes. There was a leak somewhere.

Hi @paranormalvision7664 yes it is safe to do your self. Just follow the simple steps in our handy how-to video. If you encounter any issues please give our technical team a call on 0330 123 3366. Many thanks, EH

Mine works but cuts out at 1, so just about green but the blue lever won't let me pressure past 1, if anyone can help id appreciate it !

@@ryanfell5180 did you find a solution? Currently having this issue

@@naila444 a while ago now and I've moved house, but basically that fili link let's you put some pressure in but not loads, the idea being it stops you blowing the boiler / your house up etc In the end my plumber did a service and topped it up and changed the key to something else, can't remember what it was called, that let me put more pressure into the system. We had a slow leak somewhere which is why the pressure was slowly dropping. Hope you get it sorted, cheers

Hi Roger, our manuals should contain information on all 3 methods. What boiler do you have and I will make sure this is correct and if not that we update it 😊👍 - Aiden

@@WorcesterBoschHeating Hi Aiden, we have a greenstar cdi compact Erp 36cdi model . No mention in handbook about new way, just says use key. Thanks again for video.

@@rogerkretzschmar8280 Just had a look you are quite right, apologies for any inconvenience caused but happy the video could help. I'll pass this on to our literature team to get it updated. Thanks for letting us know 😊👍 - Aiden

@@WorcesterBoschHeating there is absolytely no informationon manual AND I am pulling the blue trigger down gently but no water soynd, pressure is not going up. What can be the reason? Thank you

I think if you’ve got two black ones it needs a key

I’m having this water comes out did you find a solution?

Same with me. Did you figure out the issue?
