Hi can anyone shed some light on my boiler problem please? when it starts up/ignites there is a droning noise (sounds like when you blow over the neck of a glass bottle). it does this for approx 3-5 seconds then fades away untill the boiler has turned off and then come back on for the next programmed duration. it started doing this very slightly a few weeks ago but is getting worse by making the droning noise louder/longer. the boiler is Glow Worm Flexicon 12 hx. its 2 and a half years old and had no problems so far. ive researched what i can and am i right in thinking its a combustion fault? is it the air to gas ratio thats too lean? can i adjust this bit by bit till the noise stops? or as i suspect, do i need an engineeer with a gas flue analyser to do it? im a fully qualified and competent mechanic so could tackle this if i dont NEEEEEEEEEED the analyser. otherwise i will get an engineer in to do it, but i want to be sure ive got the right information and the solution before someone tries pulling the wool over my eyes(heard lots of stories of expensive parts replacement not fixing the problem)
thanks for reading my post and any advice gratefully excepted.
