306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum - Heater matrix hoses and connector

Is the heater matrix hoses and connection the same through all the phases?

Thanks :o)

AUGHHHHHHHHH.......!!!! If i could get the damn thing off I'd be a happy bunny!! Sad

Anyone based around South London -Croydon area, fancy giving me a hand Big Grin

Don't forget to press the release switch as you pulling and work it round in a circle ad you pull.

Tried that, feels like it's welded in place.
...and both pipes have snapped! Knew I had to replace it, but this is more fun than I thought!

Ohhh and looking at the matrix after taking the dash off, no idea how that's gonna come out...

And it's pi55ing with rain, how badly is my day going!

unbolt the heater box.

it's not the most fun job . . .took me about 8 hours start to finish tbh . . . .let me see if i can find you a guide . . Smile

here you go . .http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=78999

Thanks Chaps - Gonna have another go once the rain has stopped.

Yeah was following that guide, I've noticed the P1 is slightly different (has extra bolts here and there), but common sense has got me to the point I am.

Why did I not doo this yesterday when it was sunny!
hahahaha

Managed to break a chunk off the evaporator housing, so I'll be needing a new one of those alone with the hose, connector and new matrix!

All a learning curve!

Can anyone tell me if the evaporator housing is the same through the whole range?

errrr why did you take that housing out?? . . . . . no need homeslice . . Smile

also is your car a 5 door? . . . . . if so sell me your doorcards please? mine are tired . . Big Grin

Sometimes I just get soooo carried away and have to take everything apart

[attachment=19972]

Only wanted to tighten you the wheel bolts!! :p

Was having hella time getting the matrix out, the end result was the housing had to come out too.

You can have the whole car for £700 Wink

haha well seriously if you ever break it let me know, i converted the S16 half leather seats (same design as yours) to fit a 5 door and got same doorcards to match out an xsi, drivers doorcard is tatty though and it drives me mad . . .

Nice..! I like that. Managed to pick up some p3 rear leather seats a month or so back, only to realise I couldn't fit the back rest properly.. D'oh!

The wing mirrors on the pug in your sig.. they from a p3 and if so where they a straight swap?

Breaking.. well the way I feel with it at the moment!!
But when it's all together.. shiny-shiny

You can fit the backs, just unzip them and slide on to your old frame for the different locking point, only takes a few minutes, the wing mirrors are phase one Sigma blue and sold last week, someone writ that car off for me Sad

Ohhh in hind-sight should have kept them, but sold them after realising they didn't fit!

That sucks, sorry to here about that. Sad

Looked a nice motor!

Hopefully by the time Dec comes around I'll have enough post counts to pm you Wink

Back on topic -

Since I completely annihilated the matrix connectors on both sides, I've managed to get new hoses and connectors, but when ordering the matrix does it come with everything I need to straight into the hose?

Aha..! Everything is included.. just gotta work out the difference between a valeo and behr now.
