i Managed to get a thermex one from Volks-apart £28 for the part and £21 for the special sat delivery... anyone know if these heater cores are any good? will be fitting with a mate tomorrow... i'll take pics n stuff, i'm sure it'll be usefull on here...

does anyone know where i could get a decent heater matrix by tomorrow... maybe a next day delivery thing online...? Will get the matrix done this weekend if i can...

WOW! i've gotta give that a go!

Cheers guys... i'm sure i can thief my sisters hair dryer this weekend so i'll give that a go 1st... lol you can't be serious!

hi all... a lot of the plastic trims on me vr are all grey and faded and i'm trying to get it back to it's former glory... back to black is a crappy temp solution... does anyone have any ideas on a more permenant solution..? i had someone suggest matt black spray paint!

i gave mine a test after... all u get is cold air... no bad stuff...

lol yeah i will give it a go... i suppose i'll do the same thing that io do with laptops when i repair them... all screws in seperate categories... label as much as possible... I'll call on you if i get stuck, arnau! ;) i suppose the money i save on this can go towards a new head gasket...

i've got a week off in july, might just do it then... jeez i hope i don't break anything!

yikes... i really don't think i'm that technical...! how savvy would u say u'd have to be? is it easy?

managed to get the bypass done... breakdown guy sorted it for me... any ideas on how much the matrix would cost to get replaced?

Hi all, i had this very same problem this morning on the way to work... at about 70mph on a dual carridgeway... suddenly i couldn't see anything cos i was in a cloud of steam! had to finish the journey like ace ventura! i'm gonna get this bypass thing done... and so far the electrics seem fine... i'll be calling HSBC later as i got breakdown cover with them... do yall think they would have the tools to do this bypass? also does anyone know anybody with experiance with taking a raddo dash out that they could recommend me around the hampshie/berkshire/surrey area? and a rough idea on how much it would cost if possible... thanks in advance...

cheers dokko... tho i'm pretty sure it's the heater matris now... the front passenger side (like right at the front) is wet too and the water is somehow getting to the back... and i'm loosing coolant quite fast... i got quoted like £300 for someone to replace it... that sould about right to u guys?

i'm pretty sure it's the heater matrix now... need to get it sorted but i don't wannt try taking out the dash myself... does anyone know anybody with corrado repairing experiance in the farnborough/basingstoke/bracknell area? and whould u know roughly how much getting this sorted would cost?

i'm confident enough removing them but not as confident putting it back in properly! :S but i'll give it a go, thanks... if it is the heater matrix should it feel like a slightly oily water?

seems odd since the front carpet is only slightly damp... and the rear is soaked... i'm pretty novice when it comes to this stuff... how could i check if it's the heater matrix? and i'm right in saying that the heater matrix uses coolant water, right? this is really how novice i am!

Ok, so i've been on holiday for just over a week... during this week i've left the car in the garage with a houshold de-humidifier in it... i've come back to the car and the de-humidifier is full of water, the carpet is still soaked and my engine radiator is very low on water... i have 2 questions... 1. i know it's not rain now so is there anywhere other than the radiator and the screenwash that it could be coming from? the screenwash has not gone down at all... i'm pretty sure it's not that... 2. if it is the radiator water, how could it be getting to the rear passenger seat carpet? i'm confused.com! thanks in advance Kris

I'll have a look... tho i'm pretty sure it's not that... bagh this thing is pissin me off!

Think i've found something... TBH i don't know what part dokko is talking about... all i got from that was seals, covers and door sills... what is he talking about? the rubber strip around the door? cos he mentioned that it was oily... that sounds farmilliar!

hmmm... would that have the oily feel to it? and in such a specific area... the front passenger side is fine...

Argh! i've found another leak! problem now is that i don't know where it's leaking from! it's like an oily water on the rear passenger side carpet... the door isn't leaking... i'm pretty sure of it... the other leak was from the driver side, so thats fine... It's quite worrying cos it's like an oily water... any suggestions on what it could be?

funny u should mention that... yeah i used that evo stick wet grip stuff just yesterday and went mental with the hose and not a drip in sight! i went really overboard on it too! just to make sure... it's great stuff... cheers for that trumpy! got it all over my hands tho! it was a bastard to clean off cos it's waterproof straight out of the tube, but yeah it worked a fking charm! just a little bit under the door card where it got a bit messy that i need to clean off... :brickwall:

yeah i think thats probly my problem... i was using bathroom silicone... maybe i should just take that off 1 sunday and use that evostick stuff... can't do it ATM... the car is being repaired... someone bumped into my poor baby... it's cool tho... i get the bumper and bonet resprayed for free! :norty: the car will look as good as new!

awsome, i'll give that a go! cheers trumpy!

spose i can try giving it another go... cheers for the input guys... i'll have to take off all the crappy bathroom sealant that i put on it 1st lol... the membrane is fine, i think it's just the way that it's sealed...

as i said... i tried doing it myself... but it just keeps leaking... i think i'm just crap at doing this sort of stuff... lol
