noisy boiler/pipes plumbers please help!

had a new wb condensing junior 28i combi fitted in aug and today either that or the pipes close to it are making a horrible vibrating noise! and its loud! when mr corgi fitted it he said the pressure gauge should show between 1 and 2 bar, its right on 2 bar is this right?
if i switch it off the noise stops straight away, im worried its built up pressure that might blow a pipe off somewhere

many thanks in advance

It should not blow off a pipe. there will be a relief valve to an outside wall that opens at approx 3 bar. My system typically runs at 1 bar.

If you have serious concerns i would call back Mr Corgi as its only been installed a very short time and if he is any good he should guarentee his installations for a year anyway.

Could be a faulty pump, or just needs venting. Get the installer back to check it out.

Sounds like air in the pipes, you could try bleeding the Rad's again.
