Heater Matrix

[CM2007]

I am getting a problem with the windsceen steaming up when the engine heats up and a smell of antifreeze. Can anyone tell me an easy way of accessing the heater matrix or is it a dash out job?

Also, if it does turn out to be a faulty matrix, any instructions as to how to do the job? I have a friend who is a mechanic and he had worked on many cars but never done a matrix on a Galaxy so I want to give him a head start rather than him guessing.

 

Many thanks

Mike

dash out job. i have put off doing mine for the past 2 years but can't go through another jan/feb with more frost on the inside than on the outside of windscreen.

 

you need to be 100% sure that it is the matrix before ripping out the dash. in the faq there is instruction with pics on how to remove the dash. good luck
