If you loseing a slight amount of coolant as well? your heater matrix is leaking! big job! total dash out, and a ac recharge

thanks for your no how would i need to replace the heater matrix or can you repair it. is it a garage job if so is it costly or is it something to have a go at cheers john

possibly a repairable part? it has plastic end caseings so as long as these are ok? you should be able to repair/plug any holes in the core? as for a diy job? depends if you have the time and the space to do it? I took one look at the work involved :rolleyes: and passed it on to a local garage, who promtly swore afterwards to never do another :lol:
