vw rule 19 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I've been looking online looks like VW Heritage have one for sale states for all versions of Corrado. Part number 1H2819031A Cost £32.26 Make: Topran Link https://www.vwheritage.com/1h2819031a-heater-matrix-vw-spare Also looks like it's on Ebay with same part number but here cost is £37.25 States MK3 upgrade ?? Again from VW Heritage Link: http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=391808817632&category=9886&pm=1&ds=0&t=1568404170000&ver=0&cspheader=1 Also GSF do or did sell the matrix for the Corrado, but can't remember if that was a Valeo one or not. There's an old thread on here somewhere regarding the matrix, what options are available and if you can replace it in situ or not ? I'm sure there was a discussion on the Valeo matrix. I'll see if I can find that old thread. Si Edited October 2, 2019 by vw rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think the Valeo one is the winner, just found the other thread from 2016 this goes into great detail including photos. Don't want any ponds in our footwells or people throwing bread at the ducks :lol: Link below: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?95816-Heater-matrix-OEM-supplier Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted October 3, 2019 Stay away from Topran, especially for the heater matrix as you won't want to get in there again in a hurry! Had bad reports about Topran oil coolers too - Valeo and Hella are the best if you can find them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted October 3, 2019 No worries. There's a seller on Ebay who has the Valeo matrix, states 2 left in stock. Ebay item number 312528122945 Cost £42.15 with free shipping within UK Mainland. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
