Just an update for reference should anyone else have same issue and stumble upon this. A local heating engineer came today and recalibrated the gas valve. Problem solved. I'm considering making a complaint to homeserve and sending them the invoice to reimburse me. Firstly it only started making...

Thanks for the help. Agree that the age can cause noise re: heat exchanger. Its just the fact that it started only when they changed the PCB. Which points towards it being that and not some other issue

No readouts. Funnily enough he asked me before he left "you do have a carbon monoxide detector right?" Almost like he was concerned. Wtf? I don't have one. Was planning on getting one

Hi Have been having issues with a bass noise that my boiler has been making ever since a new PCB and sensor was fitted last week. Video shows the slight noise as it fires and then at about 18 seconds in, the noise starts again https://youtube.com/shorts/GQuwzE7a6C0?si=pWnOQv8kc23wIdkP These...

It seems it is never £1300 though. Reviews I have read say they actually quote nearer to 2k

Well he speculated that is was gas valve or fan assembly so recommended changing both parts

Spoke to them on phone and they said the boiler is working and it's only an advisory right now. If I continue my cover with them and it gets worse or breaks down in couple of months time, the parts will get replaced, as the value of that claim on its own will be under the threshold. Sounds like...

Vaillant ecotech plus 415

Have been told by homeserve that my boiler is beyond economical repair because of the cost of the parts. Its 14 years old, so they will provide the boiler and I have to pay the labour. The cost of this in my policy Ts&Cs says 'from' £1300!!!! It needs new gas valve and fan to potentially fix the...

Update: So a gas engineer came out from a different company and I explained the issue and told him what I thought the issue was based on the videos and advice given by ianmcd. He started by loosening the nuts slightly which seems to have solved the problem. He could see that grease had been used...

Thanks everyone. I came across these YouTube videos of exactly the same thing and these seems to suggest the same about the grease and the bolts, so here's hoping...

@ianmcd I PMd You earlier. Would be really grateful if you could let me know before they come out tomorrow. Thanks in advance

Well I've called and they are sending out an engineer from a different company that they use, so hopefully they will be able to sort it, but not holding my breath

Thanks. My insurance is through domestic and General who use a 3rd party heating company. The 3rd party company have said they can't do anything about it and to call my insurer. But that's pointless as they will just charge me an excess to send someone out who will probably say the same thing...

I don't know. I know it was a gasket kit 0020038679 and electrode kit 0020153950 that was fitted. That's all. He checked the bolts when he came earlier and they were all done up correctly
