Valeo heater matrix - need help to fit £££'s on offer

[Bullfinch 0]

This is a bit of an odd one. I've got the part but I need the know-how. Quite simple really I'm willing to pay £200 for someone (with prior experience) to help me fit a replacement heater matrix. I plan to fit in early May (any weekend). I'm based in Bracknell, close to both M3 and M4.

Any chance you could put up some photos and a blow by blow account of how to change the matrix as I haveto do my own aswell?

its not that hard, just be careful with the cables on the back of the heater controls!

 

there is a guide on here somewhere, thats what i used and it was pretty easy really, just took me 2 days of faffing :lol: but i did fit heated seats and loom at the same time

There is a wiki submission the vkrisv posted a year or so ago on the way to remove it. He did have help as I recall and it took him the best part of a day.

Thanks for the offers. However as I have even more travelling coming up (Brazil and Australia with work) I've made a booking with The Phirm for 4 May to get this done. Suffice to say it's a tad (make that a lot!) more than £200 but I need my weekends for R&R! Australia looks almost definite now to turn into 2-3 years so I need to decide to sell or keep. As my wife said will the £1k storage cost per year be offset by a £1k increase in residual value...if only:(

Dude, would only take you a day to do from start to finish... You sure you can't spear the hours? Would save you money... is the extra day you'll save giving it to a garage going to save you the same amount of money as you would spend doing it yourself? I doubt that day of is worth the extra cash...

 

Shame about you having to sell it too. Can you not keep it at a relatives or somewhere? Or even sell it to a relative/friend until you return with the idea of buying it back?
