Finally got the chance during this lockdown to get through your channel. Cracking content Doc, love the format of the vids, your attitude towards problems encountered and your general demeanour when it comes to explaining technical terms to customers. Reminds me of me 😂 You're a credit to the industry, wish all engineers were of the same mould

Why why dislike for sir dr pipe? Thanks for all of ur video Always like button from me

Dr Pipe, when you clean the heat exchanger on a Vaillant, what is the attachment on your drill and where can I buy them? Thanks and great content...👍

I have the same problem, happens once in a while, not always. Model Potterton GOLD 15 HEAT ErP. Do you cover southwest London? Richmond

Hi, Was that a potterton precision model? I have one doing the same. Thanks

I remember the boilers at my primary school doing this but very very loud so we used to turn on all the hot taps and the noise scared all the people in the toilets

Hi -- justwtched your video -- i've worked on dozens + dozens of baxi solos -- the noise probolem was very commen ( even on new installs) -- it always occured when the boiler went into low fire after running for about half an hour -- the problem is the gas rate from the gas valve is to high on low fire ,it just needed adjusting on the gas valve ( only a slight tweek on the gas pressure adjuster screw !!

Nice one , i knew your face was familiar , ive seen you in Adlink as i usually go there 3 /4 times a week and the young lady serving you is extremely knowledgeable with boiler parts ,they have moved down to ground floor now as it was a dump upstairs ....... Cheers.......: )

yensabi Yes I’m in there often .. The young lady there Nita.. is exceptional with regards to parts and her ability to remember codes.. and super Happy which is a massive bonus.. say hello next time. 👍 thanks for watching. Just the same as you Guys.. Just Film it and edit it then post it then share it ! Every week !

Could this noise be anything else if you heard it ? Also would this problem cause loss of hot water ?

hello i got the same issue at but i worry if that can be gas explosion? my landLORD is he come and make some nuts changes but the nose sttil there how much cost raffle this gas valve that you replaced? thanks and great video i gave you a like

What is that device in your right hand wrist?

If the occupants weren't at home when it was doing that, Would the boiler blow up or is there a safety option that would just turn the boiler off ?

Ahhh the dreaded farting noise,, first thing i think of is poor combustion on low... did you analyze it prior to removing the gas valve, was there a high and low setting on that boiler, could that valve be adjusted. mmm air in system or kettling, i agree with you that sounded nothing like either. nice work keep em coming.

I hated those boilers. Stuff seemed to fall to bits when you serviced them....electrode wires fell off, and the plastic nut on the condensate siphon used to disintegrate if you touched it.....oh joy ! 😂

Noisy solo's could be anything I've had blocked impulse tube cause it before another thing to check is the blue seal in the flue ive had it perish before and fuck up the air gas mixture creating horrible noises

i believe i have the same 'noise' problem from my MAIN HEAT 24 ERP boiler. it made this noise this morning and lasted for around 5 mins - but then the noise stopped - and the boiler seems to be working normally. is this something which requires immediate attention - and is it safe to continue using the boiler in this cold weather??? im in harrow london. do u cover my area??? thanks.

Yes main 30s etc are the same boilers if a combustion performance check was performed right at the beginning you would have noticed that the offset of the valve was way out especially on low modulation thus creating harmonic drone noise and have been on the off the scales on Co curve along with the ratios . can all superstar gas engineers stop doing all these videos for the public as you pay a lot of money to be qualified and attain your qualifications just get on with your jobs and stop trying to famous or something it’s all getting boring 😴

The worst boiler ever made by baxi I stopped fitting those because they were so unreliable. Nice video though thanks for posting.

I've only watched 1:57 and I THINK it might be bearings on the pump, that's what I'd be going looking at first. 🤷‍♂️

Robin Wigley can or can't? I see a lot of new style valves say no adjustment, new valve only!

Think baxi have made more money in parts revenue with the promax than all initial sales of the boiler put together…..

Using drill driver on those screws very bad idea next person will be opening going to damage these screws completely

Gas valve settings needed adjusting, low is too low and it causes this noise on they baxi’s. These boilers are the most horrible ones out there in my opinion. Terrible things.

Please remember only Fully trained Gas engineers Can carry out work on Gas Appliances.. it’s the Law and it’s For Everyone’s safety. Please remember that.
