Alpha CB24 combi boiler leaking

[nich234]

Hi Guys

I have an Alpha CB24 combi boiler that is leaking from underneath, from the user manual it looks like its coming from a small hole near the diverter valve assembly/DHW FLOW SWITCH. As I'm strapped for cash, i was wondering A: Is it dangerous to use? B: How much it might be to have fixed?

UPDATE: The pressure went through the roof yesterday (which i think was because I left the filling loop open hehe) So i bleed the radiator, until the gauge was back in the green. Since then I have only turned on hot tap to check it was working, then it shot back up again. Bleed the radiator again (getting like groundhog day now) and touch wood it has stayed in the green. Is it ok to switch the heating on?

Hope someone can help

all modern combi boilers have a host of bilt in safety devices so the boiler will be safe to turn on, it may not stay on for long though!

Hi, drain down system until gauge is 1-1.5 bar this should work fine after that
