Heater Matrix

[gripper]

gripper, how was the job to do, did you do it yourself?

My mechanic said it was a straight forward job (but he would say that because hes already done his own) !
He had more problems with my alarm stuff !
Got mine from quattro corner but its still not right

Alex or Rusty ? Can I adjust the main flap (hot to cold) WITHOUT taking the dash out again ? This is the my last hope at trying to get some REAL heat into the car !

I got the one from Quattro corner as well, there was something a little different with it and it didn't sit in perfectly but was good enough. I'm not at home atm and can't remember what brand it was.

Since you're doing a fairly big job, I would be prepared to re-do the foam on the internal flaps in the airbox as well. They will most likely be deteriorated and crumbling to bits as they usually do with age. The big flap separating cold and hot air has large holes beneath the foam, and once the foam falls off the hot/cold air separation won't work well.

It just needs one of the corners re profiling with a file, then it's sits perfectly.

OK, so I will give Pete a call - does anyone know for sure if LHD / RHD are the same?

[Rusty]

I'd say that they're not because of the way the pipes exit the unit but best check...

I did my brothers coupe 2 and a bit years ago. Took all day but taking our time and tieded up while there.
I got a genuine valeo unit as they are in Redditch. It even came with the foam to stop vibration. From memory it was about 40 quid.
