The official heater matrix thread?!
#25
Soz mate, I would have commented sooner as ive just finished doing mine today.

This is the guide I followed: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread....p%3Bpage=1

some tips when you come to put it back together.
1. DO NOT remove the rubber bung in the bulkhead, I did and it was a right pig to get back in, just cut the centre and lube it up with some washing up liquid the push the pipes back in.
2. Slacken off (but do not remove) the 10mm nut that is in the engine bay behind the brake lines on the battery side, this will loosen the fan side of the blower unit which will make it much easier to line up.
3. Make sure you get your cable routing right first time, in particular there is a brown and red plug in the passengers footwell. The cables for this need to route between the blower unit and the matrix unit.
4. Fill the coolant system as soon as possible before you put everything else back together in case you have any leaks.
5. Be patient with the dash, try to get a mate to sit one side to help get it all into position.
6. Make sure the vent pipe lines up with the matrix, mine currently doesnt so I have had to block it off to get air up to the windscreen.

Hope some of this is useful, if you need anythig else let me know as its all fresh in my head at the mo
