I agree 100%, rebuilt my heater last month and having that guide was a huge help. Few points i would add,
-Buy adhesive backed foam and recover all the flaps. My matirx was leaking for so long all the foam dissolved and got blown out the heater vents.
-Remove the plastic pivots for the flaps and give them a good clean to remove the old sticky grease and reassemble with silicon grease. The heater controls will move much smoother after.
-Those yellow and orange clips holding the cables in place are very brittle, be very careful removing them.
I bought a Nissin element to replace mine and the fitment was not that great. The original Valeo unit would be a better option if you have the choice.
