Whooping noise from boiler!

My Baxi 100 HE has suddenly started making a noise like a police car siren shortly after firing up. Very very loud. It literally goes whoo, whoo, whoo! No way of really describing it - but never heard anything like it before - any ideas please?

Sounds like it needs some adjustment to the gas valve. Get someone in who works on them with the right test gear. Manufacturer might be the best bet although they probably have a steeper charge which covers fixing all faults.

Arghh! Condensate tube blocked solid, fan running in water - needs replacing, heat exchanger leaking and needs replacing, burner assembly corroded and needs replacing.

No CH or hot water until next week.

JOY!
