Heater matrix ?

[slot 0]

Just put a deposit down on a 1993 vr6 ! :wink:

I got alot knocked off the price because i tryed the heater blower only to find the guy turn it off instantly ! :?

So when we pulled up at his house ,i popped the bonet it was only clear he had bypassed the matrix and join the two hose's together !! :)

Anyway i've price the part's up (£33 gsf) but is it a bugger of a job to replace,has anyone encountered any major prob's doing this ?

Cheers

Well mine has gone and ive been eyein up doin for sometime and i think the only real way to do it is to get the dash out, i dont think you can do it wi the dash in like the mark 2 golfs

It's a dash-out job - or at least it had better be; I've just paid for 8 hours labour to get mine done!!

 

Best wishes

apparently it is possible to do it without taking the dash out, but it's a lot easier, safer and less likely to break anything else doing it the old method by taking the dash out.... :|

i've don it with out taking the dash out, pain in the arse tho.

 

i took all the panels off the dash i could

then removed a metal surport behind the dash

then took the bolts off on the bulk head, which hold the matrix housing.

then removed all the plastic heater blower and housing then took the matrix out and swaped it.

took a good couple of hours.
