heater matrix removal how to?

boink · 8th December 2018, 19:04

After using the in-hose thermostat mod a year or so back (on connie 2.0 Diesel) I've had warmish air on driver side, but still colder than any car I've ever owned. Anyone able to point to a heater matrix removal 'how to' with pics or video as I believe that's the next step towards heated happiness.

Found it.

What the following posts go on to explain is this...Once the screws are removed and the wrap around clips are removed, the pipes separate. Re-joining them is a job from hell.

The post above will give you just those two pics.

You will find all the detail you need in the ---How-To---section on the main page.

Ta for the advice and pics. Think this one will have to be a garage job as I'm on a busy main road so under car work can be bit risky. I'd also thought the job could be done from inside the passenger footwell area..but forgotten the issue of draining down the system.

I'm not sure how confident I'd be getting it topped back up under pressure either.
