I had a new boiler fitted about 6 months ago. It seems to be working perfectly (lots of hot water, house warm as toast, comes on when I want it to), except when the heating has been on continously for about 3 hours or so I get this loud banging noise from the boiler. (Sounds like air in the system, but it definitly comes from the boiler not the pump nor the raidaitors) and the Blue light on the front starts flashing (manual defines this as a "volatile lockout".
I've tried bleeding the radiators but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. This only seems to happen when the heating has been running for some time.
After a few minutes the light stops flashing and the boiler comes on again. This cycle then repeats itself at 10-30 minute intervals.
So is this something to worry about? And what is a "volatile lockout"?
