Heater Matrix

Recommended Posts

I bought a Corrado VR6 and it doesn't have a heater matrix. Can someone please let me know what I need other than the heater matrix, pipes etc.

You need a great deal of patience! I might suggest fitting an electric one! Surely that's got to be a thing by now...

 

I can't believe someone went to the trouble to remove a heater matrix and didn't fit a replacement, it's such a ball ache to get in there.

 

A Corrado is for life, not just for the MOT.

Attached illustrates a heater matrix in the air distribution housing. The two black plastic pipes poke through the bulkhead.

You should see two coolant pipes [probably joined together in the engine bay?] which push over these and are secured with pipe clamps.

 

Hope that makes sense...

It's probably still in there, just bypassed because it was faulty. No way you would take one out without replacing it - simply too much work. It could also be that some of the bolts holding it to the bulkhead had seized, so it was left there.

Thanks everyone. I haven’t had the dash out yet but there are definitely no pipes connecting it to anything. The previous owner had smoothed the engine bay so there’s very little there.
