New radiator

[BakedTattie]

Hi Guys,
Engineer replaced my kitchen radiator a few days ago. He swapped a single column for a double column. Almost like for like for size. New rad is 'gurgling' all the time when the heating is on. Rads have been bled. I have just noticed that when I turn the kitchen tap on the noise stops. Is this linked and whats the fix pls. Many Thanks

Just keep bleeding it, maybe just stubborn air in the system.

If it's the hot tap then yes, when there is a hot water demand the heating, in effect, switches off.

Does the boiler have a purge/de-aeration function?

Some boilers have a function that kicks the pump in on a program to expel air, but I can’t seem it in the manual of yours.
