Noisy radiator (spluttering sound when it warms up)

    This is a minor niggle and I'm not too bothered by it so much as curious about whats causing it. Two upstairs radiators tend to make a spluttering/squirting noise when the heat comes on in the morning. After a while the noise dies down. To me it sounds really like bubbles being squirted in through the valve so the obvious solution was to bleed them. Yet I've never gotten any air out of them, and they always heat up completely evenly.

    Anyone know what that could be? Cheers.

    drBill, did you ever get any response to this issue?

    Was asked by somebody last weekend how to bleed their rads. They called me yesterday to say that all went well but one rad was still cold on one side but not more air comes out when they open the valve.

    I called to have a gander and it turns out that the rad is not set up level - the side with the valve is lower (about a half an inch) than the other side. Not much but enough to cause a problem.

    I was thinking, what if you opened the valve and then start the heating system. Maybe you already have tried this.
