Hi.

 

So Riley sez in that link I gave ya. You need to remove the pass side, side panel. Then you can get under the central console.The cogs that 'MAY' be bust can just slide out. If this is the case then just get down a breakers n slide out the same cog from a MK2 Golf heater box refit to yours check it all works then your done.

 

Read all Rileys n my writings on that link.

 

Riley solved his by not removing the box n Matrix. This was my 1st car n so I was not so wise. I ripped out all the dash well apart from the dash its self :roll:

 

As for the Matrix...If you do what i did n take the lot out then swap the matrix if you replace just the cogs n it works then leave the matrix n box in place.

 

Good luck Bud.

ok im well and truly in a daze .

 

i have change the box as it turns out it was the cables and not the cogs .

 

right now im in pain as the glove box was being stuborn and needed erm tickling to get it out think i might have a broken knuckel o well the joys of my C .

 

 

i changed the box and kept my matrix as i have got no probes with it at the mo.

 

 

the thing is now i have a metalic rattel .i turn the radio up and its gone.

 

i think my C has fallen out with me for fixing her .

 

 

 

now its time to have a drink

 

 

thanks for your help
