Vokera Linea 24 is noisy, how do i prevent it?

Hi,

As you can hear in the youtube video, linked further down, our boiler is very noisy and sounds like a fog horn when you flush the toilet. Is there anything we can do to prevent it or do we have to call for a plumber to fix it? Would be very grateful for answers since our experiences with boilers equals zero.

hi axel & flatmates welcome to the forums. i haven't looked at the youtube video but i would think that the fact that the noise occurs when you flush the toilet points to the toilet fill valve needing attention really.

Fill up your heating system it's at 0 pressure

Ball valve in toilet needs replacing.

Really appreciate your response everyone. Exchanging the ball valve seem to be a work for a plumber if I'm not mistaken. But what about to repressurise the boiler, is that easy to do on your own?

If you're getting a plumber in for the ballvalve, ask him/her to show you how to fill up your heating, he shouldn't charge you for that
There will be a filling loop under your boiler ( usually a silver braided hose with a valve either end)and a pressure guage on the boiler, you need to open the filling valve and raise the pressure to between 1 and 1.5 bar then turn the fill valve back off
