Im havin major problems with my potterton combi...
1/ If i have my boiler switched on the c/heating starts automatically when it definitly shouldnt as the boiler and CH have seperate switches and should work independently. So I leave it running anyway and its quite noisy (flushing noises) like pressure building up and then after about 10mins or so it locks out, leaving me to constantly reset it all the time
2/ Also have noticed when i need to run the hot water and when i switch the hot water tap off, there is loud banging coming from the pipes and hammering sounds from the boiler too..it really does get loud and i think the automatic pressure release valve must kick in cause a loud hissing eventually occurs (as if releasing of pressure) and it eventually locks itself out, altho recenlty i havent allowed it to run its course to lockout mode in that situation as the noise does get really loud and im worried it could be doing the boiler damage so i switch boiler off and the noise stops
Can anyone tell me what could be causing these problems and if they are related?
Cheers
Alan
