Heater Matrix

[gripper]

Can anyone give me the approximate price of a new heater matrix please ?
I am assuming this is a MD only part ?

And a part number as well would be excellent

About 20 pounds sterling, you can buy cheap crappers or oem spec ,eurocarparts or similar, but highest quality is probably the way to go when you consider how much of a job it is to change, you only want to do it once so buy the best you can locate

Bought mine direct from Valeo for about £30. Fun job to do though

and you don't want to know the cost from the stealers....

Not that bad from the dealer mate, about £60 but it is a valeo unit anyway. Avoid GSF / ECP Chinese crap

Cheers I will try them direct.
Either way £30 or £60 its money well spent because I will not be doing this again

Thanks for the tips

This is the Valeo number fI have found on their web catalogue -

812012 - Width: 157 mm, Height: 234 mm, Thickness/Strength: 42 mm, Material: Copper

I have a non A/C heater box and the matrix in it looks to be of the same dimensions as those listed above but as the A/C heater box is still in the car, I'm not sure if it's a shared part.

I'm going to email them now for a price.

AFAIK they are all the same matey

I ended up buying one from Pete at quattro corner in the end, £40
Its made by Meyle and I have had it fitted today

[Rusty]

The Valeo one is listed on ECP at £107

I'm looking at this now... anyone any thoughts on just getting the Meyle unit from Quattro Corner, or trying to get a Valeo directly?

Does anyone know if there is a difference LHD/RHD? - I understand there is no difference AC / non-AC....

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

To put it mildly, Pete at q-corner wouldn't entertain crap, so go with what he has

Well he once sold me a centre bearing for my UR. It was for a BMW, without telling me. Said that's all he could get. I got a genuine one and sent the BMW one back to be inserted where the sun don't shine.

I replaced heater matrix recently, got it from Quattro Corner £40 I think and quality unit. I didn't think it was that bad a job to do just takecare of those plastic clips on the end of the control cables, I took plenty of pictures to refer to if needed.There's a good link here on the forum to follow if you need it, just take your time, good luck.
