Combi thumping noise on firing up!

Mr-Kilner

Hey, I saw your post - My ideal isar he 30 is making similar noises. It was in the house when I moved in and I guessed the warranty was 12month. How long was your warranty for?

This has happened to me!! Mine is an 'Ideal' About 18 months ago it sounded like it was backfiring!! Bloke came and said it was a carbon build up!! It has just started again, got warmfront out as warranty finishes tomorrow!! The guy took one look at my boiler (did not even take the front off) and said he was not touching it and phoned Ideal direct!! The guy on the other end said it could be a hundred and one reasons why its like that and could cost alot to rectify!! Basically what it came down to was Ideal are BAD and I should get a new boiler!! So I phoned Ideal myself and they are coming out on Saturday with a computer to diagnose what the fault is!! Under warranty cos I phoned today!! But I am fuming as they all tried to pass the buck to each other!!:mad:

Mr-Kilner - get a RGI in like the OP did - post #8. If its a similar problem then its not DIY'able.
