Heater matrix problems!!

(1/2) > >>

chris.hunt22:
Just spent hours removing the dash etc. only to work out I could get round not doing by stripping the dash area near the pedals, I have sucessfully got the old one out but the new one is different, it has a ridge inside which means the pipes will not push all the way in and seat correctly, the part number is correct (Its a Britpart matrix) but I cannot get the pipes to fit unless I drill it out and if it has a leak they won't take it back if I have tampered with it, I have dropped them an email but they are closed until Monday now....wasted weekend :x  Has anyone else had this problem before??

I'm watching this post with interest as I also have a leaky heater matrix. Have wet carpets in the footwell and gurgling from the water pipes under the dash!!

Are you saying that you may have been able to do this by not removing the whole of the dash and, has yours got air conditioning??? I notice that we both have Disco's of a similar age.

Wireless:
I'm also reading this with interest, my heater matrix appears to be partially blocked and reversing the flow with mains water to clear out the sludge hasn't cured it.

Estimate for replacement heater matrix, fitted, £587!

Maybe next winter.

Bulli:
on a coutionary note if its leaking you need to do something. Mine failed and it was only luck that stopped the engine being fried. Keep a close eye on your water level.
