difference between heater exchange and heater matrix

[paddyg 0]

My heater matrix went bang (cabin full of steam & wet carpets) and im ordering a new one from the vw dealer but he said they dont have "heater matrix" in their computer system!

He said he had a "heater exchange" which he described as a square looking radiator which sounds right! Its costing €117 although Ive never seen a pic so im kinda guessing that what the matrix looks like!

 

I know there might be another thing called the heat exchange in the engine bay, but have i ordered the right thing?

 

Cheers

it should look like a "mini" radiator the std oil-cooler is also known as a heat exchanger tho,but it looks nothing like a radiator and its part of the oil-filter housing

does look as though they call the matrix an exchanger according to etka
