I take a Look, do usual checks and what i did to recitfy the Fault. Not shown are all the final Fga & Gas safety...Thanks for watching and dont forget to like if it was helpful.
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
H Dhanji thanks pleased you got a chance 🙏👍
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 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 !
I have the same problem, happens once in a while, not always. Model Potterton GOLD 15 HEAT ErP. Do you cover southwest London? Richmond
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 ! 😂
Hi, Was that a potterton precision model? I have one doing the same. Thanks
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
Could this noise be anything else if you heard it ?
Also would this problem cause loss of hot water ?
What is that device in your right hand wrist?
Seems like I’ve got the same issue! Would you come out to Lancaster? 😄
Pierrick Joassard sorry London
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 ?
I do like a plug on a boiler
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.
Nigel Brooks no adjustment on this valve 🥴 as by manufacturer.. thanks for watching much appreciated 👍
Would you cover an SL postcode? Have the same issue on mine. Thanks!
Slough ? Could put you in touch with a good guy out there 👍 email me
@@drpipe Yes that's the area... Will send you an email, thanks for that!
@boba fetta-cheese call @heatinggeeks
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
The worst boiler ever made by baxi I stopped fitting those because they were so unreliable. Nice video though thanks for posting.
Hello. Do you cover Eastlondon? E6 area?
No
Hi there Dr pipe it's sim again where can I get that socket ratchet from and what brand
dj sim singh @Makita.. got mine from tools for trade London google it 👍
Screw fix do them £20
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.
I do cover that area.. callout is £96 inc that’s diagnosis and checks. Should get it resolved ASAP 👍
So did you replace the gas valve or simply adjust the air/gas ratio on the old one?
Shahed Ahmed .. Did you watch the video ? Should be clear as tested against new and old. Thanks for watching 👍
@@drpipe My bad loool.
That's what happens when you watch UA-cam at 4am in the morning. Lol
@@ShahedAhmed-er4ih So whats the answer ?
@@vim1471 He replaced it
What’s the watch on your right wrist ?
Paul Turner Gro po remote .. it’s a mare thanks for watching. 👍
He's lying, its a device to stop shrapnel entering his heart!!!
How much does the replacement part cost?
No idea
What is the name of this part exactly?
Thx
Jakub Debski RGI
Thank you
Are main anything to do with baxi? Looks similar to a solo inside.
Daniel Partyka .. yes Baxi group umbrella... main potterton baxi so same service Group of what I know. Thanks for watching.
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 😴
Using drill driver on those screws very bad idea next person will be opening going to damage these screws completely
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. 🤷♂️
I guess I was wrong then lol
I guess I was wrong then 😂 Great fix! 👌
Theweescot at least u had a go mate good on ya 💯👍👍
Think baxi have made more money in parts revenue with the promax than all initial sales of the boiler put together…..
You can adjust gas on them even they say u cant
Robin Wigley can or can't? I see a lot of new style valves say no adjustment, new valve only!
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.
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.
My boiler is doing same thing
cool
It’s not cool
@@dawncoleman9211 then get it fixed
gas valve..
Yep..thanks 4 watching
@@drpipe Great videos,had the same problem on glow worm.
Modern boilers are rubbish imo I had a lovely Potterton stand alone boiler in its own cabinet that lasted 40 yrs now I have a brand new noisy Worcestor and with an ugly bogey (cleanser) sticking out and a wall covered in pipework and will have to pay a bundle for a joiner to put it in a cabinet.And an outside wall will a big ugly condense pipe aaaaarrrrggghhh
Jack called progress.. but yes I know what you mean. Only thing I can say is if it had a permanent pilot light.. your saving min £300 a year in fuel. £80 just for the pilot. 👍👍
Dr Pipe Yes but now I have got to have a power flush £500 cos imo its needs pure water my old potterton just thundered thru.Why is it they say it will save you money but it doesn,t seem to .I say the power companies just raise the price to compensate and get the same profit.(I,m cynical sorry) peace .stay safe ps I was told a condense is fitted yearly £45 at service to keep guarantee.aaaarrrggghh.
Jack You converted to combi .. my guess.. if u had kept conventional it would thunder thru as well but yes needs a flush .. bit like u will after 40 years of service 🤣😂🤷♂️ had my knees done shoulders elbows.. Why did u change it then 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Dr Pipe No I kept regular boiler was told combi is high pressure and would have to replace pipes as combi could break solder on old pipes.Its all money but no choice.I think its replacement capitalism where everything you have you have to keep rebuying at regular intervals.Windows pc upgrade.Mac and ipad etc.Now its my gas fire is not compliant but it still works.This boiler had to have and extra earth £150 .They said upgrade fusebox to consumer unit.Electrician said regs have recently changed and they must check all wiring and carry out any remedial works.£860 None of it will last its all made from recycled fridges and dog food tins.Just have to be philisophical and swallow.stay safe friend
Dr Pipe booked a service for my potterton and they. all said its condemned with no parts available.Why shouldn,t they its work and money.peace
great video. wanted to ask how you knew it was the gas valve after taking the inlet gas pressure after it dropped around 2mb . what should it have been? thanks again
