So I am guessing that as I have fluid in the passenger footwell (not rain water) that my heater matrix is bust!
Im not going to lie it happened a little while back but it didn't seem to affect anything, how much damage have i done?
I still get hot air to the footwell all the vents work and at the correct temp...
I know its hard to say but based on the fluid in the footwell is it more than likely to be the heater matrix? apart from this Eurocarparts what else would I need? (is this going to fit properly)
how can i check if it is the heater matrix without taking it out?
p.s its a 206 GTi 03
Thanks

So replacing the heater matrix anybody know if the part from Euro car parts is going to be a decent fit? www.eurocarparts.com/e...207&000189
Some people saying that aftermarket is a pain to fit (more so than OEM) but heard that OEM is nearly 100... with a discount this is going to be half the price!

My other VERY strong recommendation is that you do NOT drive this car with a leaking matrix. You may know already but if you don't this is the same fluid that is keeping your engine cool. If you haven't already there is a very strong risk that low fluid levels will cause a head gasket failure.
The Haynes manual seems to have a reasonable write up on the procedure to remove the heater matrix including a few tips.
