Did you completely remove the bleed screw (bolt)?argopanos wrote:in the frond central sfhear is a 12' bolt.this bolt i unscrew it. now the lhm level is good possition,not full but there is some.
You only need to open it about ¼-½ a turn.
If it was completely removed then you may have lost the tiny ball bearing that is the seal. This would leave the bleed bypass open and your system will not pressurise.
You will need to hunt around for the ball and replace it on the end of the spring then re-tighten the bleed screw (bolt). Take care not to over tighten it as you will damage the brass seat that the ball sits in and again it won't seal.
If you haven't lost the ball then you may have overtightened it and the seal is already damaged.
