pbradley98 0 Posted May 29, 2013 Hi Jon, No - just had the oil change done locally with genuine VAG filter / Synta Silver oil, but then went back to Stealth for my annual service as usual to check over after about 3000 miles... Cheers Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Phil Phil Cool was going to do the 500 mile oil change myself then take it down to Vince when i reach 2.5/3K miles. Saves a long drive down there for something i can do myself. Cheers mic_vr its getting there slowly, harder when the cars a daily aswell Edited May 30, 2013 by Jon_vr6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 30, 2013 Coolant was below minimum when i checked the car this afternoon no visual leaks in the engine bay or on the ground. Checked carpet and bone dry but checked at the joins on the heaterbox and theres coolant there so just spent the last four hours taking stuff out and one bolt on the centre console refuses to budge. Think im going to have to drill it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 1, 2013 Well after spending most of the day on it the new matrix is in and managed to repair the direction dial feet window etc so it works on all settings. Also repaired the foam stuff on the heater box (some foam scrap I found) pics below so looks miles better now. All installed just dials and centre console to do tomorrow and its done thank god Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 2, 2013 Haha even though i did this a few weeks back I still struggled in a few parts. Id love to meet the person who decided to put them screws on the heater vents great idea. Chris not a chance lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 2, 2013 ITS DONE took forever but i did todays work with a light outside in the dark. Some of the screws in the dash got a right swearing at when they wouldnt go in and "who decided to put that screw there" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VWVW 1 Posted December 3, 2013 Seriously though you should offer a "heater matrix change service" :) Nice to hear you got it all going. Not the best of season to be doing it in due to the cold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
