Hi guys,
I have a Viessman Vitodens 100 heat only open vent boiler that was fitted around 4 years ago.
It has been serviced when required and overall runs great and very efficient.
However, at the end of last year we had an extension built and the flue had to be extended around 2 meters, rather than straight out as it was originally.
Problem is, every time it fires up, we get a massive "thump" or banging on start up.
After having the original installer back, and one other several times, no one seems to know what is causing it, and have now basically washed their hands of it.
One seemed to suggest it was because of delayed ignition but didnt know what he could do about it.
Does anyone have any pointers or suggestions?
Thanks everyone
