Moved into a brand new flat in 13 months ago, everything fine until the boiler started playing up recently.
At first it was repeatedly turning itself off, usually happening overnight but often happenning during the day too. I tried lowering the temperatures right down (50deg for both heating and hot water supply). Usually it showed a 'A06' error code and i just pressed the Reset button to get it to restart. Other times it displayed 'E06' or 'E07' and i had to hold the Reset button in for 5-10 seconds to force it to restart.
Now the problem has got worse. It has started groaning, LOUDLY. This usually happens only a few times per day but it happens much more frequently when it's windy. It sounds like the pipes are shaking, maybe as if a valve is struggling to shut off water flow and vibrating inside the pipe.
It was happening only briefly (2-3 seconds at a time) until recently and I wasn't sure where it was coming from, but recent winds seem to have made it worse and the noise lasts longer. It now groans loudly for 5-10 seconds. This gave me time to locate the source of the noise - it's the boiler, and the body of the boiler vibrates badly when it's happening. And it's definitely worse when it's windy outside.
Any know whats involved in fixing this and how much it would cost to fix?
