My heater is pissing steam on hot, has matrix gone??? - Mattcheese31 - 07-01-2014
not wet in the footwell at all, however she is using coolant more than ever before, turn the blowers on hot and you need to get out the car fast lol . . .
i'm guessing this is the matrix gone but i can hardly believe it as i currently have the dash out on my van replacing the matrix on that . . . .

isn't it, things happen in pairs (or something?)
From that description, it does sounds like the matrix....

i will have a feel but i've just ordered a matrix, as i'm 99% sure, bargain price from carpartsforless, almost half the price of ECP for the same part . . .

I can't see what else it could be pal. If you get stuck phone me, I've done the matrix before and it's a horrible job.

i'm not getting into that mindframe Liam lol . . . .took me 2 hours to totally strip the van out, matrix just been delivered now so i'm cracking on and set about the car tomorrow, can't imagine it's bad just time consuming stripping everything out with breaking stuff . .
only thing i don't understand at the moment is people carping on about where it joins through the bulkhead??? what's the dillyo with that?
RE: My heater is pissing steam on hot, has matrix gone??? - THE_Liam - 07-01-2014
Basically yeah it is just time consuming, mainly because some of it takes some thinking about.

Have you tried flushing it through with a hose pipe yet?
RE: My heater is pissing steam on hot, has matrix gone??? - Eeyore - 07-01-2014
yeh its the matrix. So on the 1.8 the windows were misty so i turned the heating on max and steam came out everywhere. It was running out of water every 30 miles. A few days of steam later and the footwells were filling up.
RE: My heater is pissing steam on hot, has matrix gone??? - Mattcheese31 - 08-01-2014
