Noisy icos

Not that I could see. not being pulled off by the gas pipe either.

It does sound like the Solenoid on the Gas Valve but hard to tell Jon. Seals, trap and gas valves themselves always tend to sound similar on these...more like a hooting whistle!

Any way of testing it?

The sound is really bassy with a lot of pressure behind it.

have you had the burner off these are known for insulation falling on burner . the turrrt can block as well try pouring hot water down inner flue but be carefull.

 

[jonny5isalive]

Yes, had the burner off. Insulation fine. And poured hot water down the flue. Must be careful of?

Absolutely correct. It is now compulsory to look inside on each service now, if you weren't already.

Your customer should think themselves lucky that p.o.s is working at all! Let alone noisey.

 

[jonny5isalive]

Long story short. Replacing the gas valve sorted it. Thanks everyone for help

 

[jonny5isalive]

Flue was made of three parts.

Turns out middle was a different flue entirely and there was no seal between two sections of the exhaust.

 

[townfanjon]

Gas valve AND the flue ?

 

[jonny5isalive]

Gas valve sorted the noise.

Flue needed replacing as there was a joint in the wall. Was worse than I thought on pulling it out.

 

[townfanjon]

Blimey, that one turned out to be an epic job eh
