wee bit more info dai bach
whats your boiler make/model
whats your boiler make/model
Dropped baffles or gas valve out of calibration. Either way, strongly recommend you get an RGI that understands the powermax or contact Baxi/potterton for a fixed fee repair.

gas valve
and don't evenn think about it
and don't evenn think about it
Hey haggis, ta for the reply but the make and model were in the header. Have you seen my follow up - BG came to replace gas valve and baffles but also replaced the burner. I have a feeling i have been tucked up. Thoughts please
I still dont see how you have been "tucked up" as you put it. Explain how?
should the initial inspection have diagnosed the burner faulty as well as the gas valve and baffles?
Presumably the oiginal visit left the boiler intact and working to keep you warm?
To inspect the burner considerable dismantling has to be done and often parts are needed to put it back together.
Much better to assess whats likely to be wrong and order the parts and return with them, carefully inspecting the boiler when they are fitted.
Thats why the Potty staff engineers are a better bet because they should have all the parts with them.

jock,maybe.haggis,never!!!!! sorry bud left specs in car while trying to read posts last night,did`nt even catch header.
if the first inspection diagnosed a faulty gas valve and baffles, what made them come out a second time to re-diagnose (another fault?) which requires a new burner??
Gas valve yes turbulators no.
Surprised so much reference to them. Even if they have dropped they shouldn't cause a noise (resonance) problem, according to my original training (by the designer Dr Jackson) the IMI Powermax is fine to use with the turbulators dropped.
Following a few 'incident' it is now required to replace the turbulators if they had dropped!

Have heard stories of some baxi/pott guys just removing them and leaving them out.
I hope you questioned Dr Jackson on what possessed him to design and build the p'max
If BG changed the gas valve and its still whistling i wonder if they changed the injector at same time? Also you would have been better off getting it repaired on a fixed price repair. I would also suggest rufusing to pay for burner unless they prove it to be the fault and not pay for the gaskets / baffles / G.Vlv
