Hey Phil, I wonder if your boiler/piping has scaled in to the point that water can't pass? In my case, I never use the hot water wand, and water will no longer flow through there--since the wand is wide open, I am guessing I'm scaled in at the bottom where the tubing comes off the steam boiler. I realize this is the other boiler than what you're describing, but perhaps it's the same basic problem? I'm thinking perhaps you take the boiler/tubing apart and see.
As I re-read your email, you say the pressure builds to 9.5 bar, so that tells me any blockage has to be post-pump. So I'd start there--get the piping/tubing off and blow through it, etc. to see if it can pass water. Other thought would be to have a look at the group head screen, and maybe try to flow water with the screen off--it could be clogged over time also with residue. Best and keep us posted!
