Heater Matrix

Just when I could see a light at the end of the tunnel for spending money and time to make my 'perfect' disco.....I think the heater matrix is on its way out, the car steams up a little when the heaters are on and I am sure I can smell antifreeze!!  How easy of a job is it to change, I have done one on a 5 series BMW before and it was a pig, had to strip all of the lower dash out to even find the darn thing and BMW thanked me for the £165 I payed them for a new one :shock:

Range Rover Blues:
I'm told it's not easy, I think the heater goes in whilst the paint is still drying :roll:

xmob:
Been there, done that, NEVER again!

It was the blower motor that went on mine, but they're all in the same area.

I think LR place the heater matrix on the floor, then build a Discovery around it.

From memory:
Steering wheel off
Console off
Centre console off
Dash out

Fix, reverse.

If you find you do need a matrix, I THINK I have one somewhere that you can have.  I'll check.

Bulli:
yup xmob is right i had help (he did it) from Johnty ...top lad...it looked like a [!Expletive Deleted!]!

Same problem in my MKII Golf entire dash out. nuts  in engine compartment on firewall. need 6ft arms to do it on your own. 3 months After I'd changed it I got a letter from VW saying they were recalling them as there was a fault which could cause the matrix to burst. they fitted a pressure relief valve to the hoses where they enter the car. Did the same in my Jetta.
