ok guys replaced heater matrix, got rid of bypass valves car heats up lovely heater is ROASTIN . only thing is screen gets oily residue while heater is on car seems to get a bit steamy inside, ive just read a post about washing new matrix to remove protective coating(which i didnt do) could this be the cause of my symptoms or i have i put i a "new" damaged matrix. help!!!

found out my 16v is gushing out oil from the area of the oil filter housing, any one know if there is a gasket around there that might have gone or ant ideas what it could be ?

hi all im after some help basicly the heater in my 16v is pants it gives out very little if any heat. im not overly technical but ill give it a go where should i start checkin. i think thermostat is worrkin ok but i have ordered a new one. the control flaps seem to be changing , it does have two bypass valves ( one metal one plastic) ive heard about drillin out these valves??? should i flush the matrix or just replace it?? any advice u guys can give would be appreciated coz it aint much fun drivin a cold corrado. :(
