Heater bypass - Mikey - 08-07-2013
Hi, Can someone tell me if it is ok to by pass the heater or not, I thought it was a normal thing to do if the heater core was leaking, also does that coolant smell go if you do it. Thanks.

Thanks for the thread, it sounds like it could be a problem unless you put the right restriction in the line.

That is what I have been led to believe. Out of curiosity, why are you bypassing it?
RE: Heater bypass - puglove - 09-07-2013
Im guessing because he CBA to change the leaky matrix

I only want to bypass it for a few months to hopefully stop the coolant smell and then when the weather warms up and there is more daylight and I will change the matrix. What about radiator sealants, do they work for a while or do they cause other problems?

Lol whats the temp where you are?
I chucked some radweld in mine to sort the leaky matrix. Not an ideal thing to do but did the job. Just change the matrix
