It sounds like a water pressure error code, do you know to check & recharge it?
Have a look at the gauge, it should be on at least 1-2 bar :)

Yes its on 1-2 bar
Nope don't know how to check & recharge it
Only thing i have done is a reset on the boiler but still get the error code
Shows E1 -68

What does error code E168 mean?

If error code E168 is being displayed on your boiler it means that the boiler has detected a problem but can't work out exactly what it is. This could be because the boiler has been reset after developing a fault or because there has been an external issue, such as a fault with the electrical supply.
If the boiler has reset, it might have been displaying a different error code before resetting. Making a note of any error codes you see is extremely helpful to any installer trying to rectify the issue.

E1 19 mean you need to check any water leak from radiator but if not that ok as it water pressure you need to release until it reach 2 when u see the arrow move then it back to normal, ive done three time since new boiler and radiator last march, careful when you turn the radiator low and high... The tube under the boiler with two turn taps you need plug then release one of the tap until it reach 2 then close the tap...
