You need to fill to about 1bar COLD when all air bled out. Check again when hot. It should not really be over 2bar. This depends on system size, but average system.
If it IS, get the expansion vessel removed and checked .. It may have failed (diaphragm inside) either from old age or constant over-pressurising)
