Hi,
I have an ideal logic heat 15 boiler that is making gurgling noises and when heating water and when requesting heat for radiators, it makes more of a vibrating rattling noise, the former results in an L2 error and the latter normally an F2 error code. I rang Ideal to see if they would come out to fix it, they advised me to get a plumber to check the condensate as this can be cause of the gurgling. I'm pretty unsure it's going to be the condensate pipe though, it's a new build house and the condensate pipe seems to be routed internally so doubt it has got blocked up. It seems more likely to be an issue with the gas valve or the injector etc needing cleaning.
I'm trying to see if there's anything that would help indicate if it was likely the condensate pipe or something with the boiler, the only other thing I have that seems odd is that if the boiler starts to error/gurgle then not using it for a few days and then firing it up again usually works fine, although the boiler gets increasingly noisy the longer it is left on before finally it gurgles and vibrates that much that it does end up locking out again.
I'm happy to get someone to fix it but am unsure if I'm best with a plumber or a boiler engineer, Ideal advised a plumber might save an expensive and needless call out but I'm finding it difficult to believe it's a blockage.
Any advice would be appreciated.
